While the omicron peak seems to have passed, new coronavirus cases remain at a higher level than they were at for most of the pandemic.

State ag is a ass plain and simple!! He is way too educated to be acting so dumb! Listen people that means his agenda is only one that benefits himself!

Actually it’s been deemed illegal. CPS Board Members do NOT have legal authority to do this THEY ARE NOT LEGISLATORS. They need to leave medical care and parental children’s rights to the parents and kids. It’s in the MO constitution too. Maybe read it?

Max

Maybe you should move to a blue state, No, they are cancelling these stupid mask mandates to. Just move, or quit whining.

The district has been under intense pressure from the attorney general, politicians and some parents to rescind its mask requirement.

Time to move on . Everything that the Government and the school administrator MANDATED has not worked. We are just going to have to live with COVID just as the flu.

Lisa Gore

It’s been ruled illegal. So our CPS board needs to do legal things.

Alejandro Montenegro

Masks don't work. At least the way they're being used.

You are cherry-picking sentences and taking things out of context if you are trying to say that this report discourages mask use

Nice piece of misinformation Max

Stare says it is illegal. But CPS picks what laws they follow

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Max

So, you support Iran? Well, I support America.

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

You need a more fuel-efficient car.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Max

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

Far bigger issues than fuel prices

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Fred

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.
