It’s shaving years from our lives, I’m sure.

Brenda G

Because it's confusing to a lot of people. Why do we need to do this anymore?

Dixie Fingerson

It is a difficult transition for pets.

Dan Myers

the reason for daylight savings time is no longer valid. It's really an inconvenience to a lot of people

Max

It's a twice a year nuisance. Unlike Biden, who is a daily nuisance. Biden should also be abolished.

Zaos Gonzolez

It’s called gay-light savings time for a reason.

If we abolished daylight savings time, in the middle of summer the sun would rise at 4:45am and set at 7:30pm. Personally, I would not like the sun rising before 5am and I enjoy being able to do outdoor activities until 9:00pm instead of 8:00pm! It’s not about the couple of inconvenient days—think!!

Farmers.

Daylight saving time does not change the number of daylight hours in a day, and farmers get up before sunrise anyway. What were you thinking?

Seriously? Ever heard of headlights?

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

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.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
