Service workers should be protected against their patrons. Mask science shows this is by *patrons* wearring masks. Businesses are too greedy to protect their workers by making this rule on their own. Hospitals are getting overwhelmed again.

If masks really worked, and caught and stopped this deadly virus, then Hazardous Medical Waste Stations would be everywhere for masks and gloves. All fear, and no facts.

The fact is that masks collect the germs that would otherwise be *airborne* and make their way into the nasal passageways of a host. Moving air alone helps to mitigate this transmission. So, masks and gloves even on the street won't be a risk, unless people are rubbing their nostrils with them

Listen to peer vetted health experts, appointed as public health officials- who state The Science shows yes, masks do work. That said as trained in interpreting and critiquing research, trained to *teach* these skills. Part of being skilled in critical thought is knowing when to ask an expert

Lol, the chips. Nevermind they're all already carrying a simple tracking and monitoring device.... their cell phone. Ever wonder how those ads show up for, oddly, something you just talked about with a friend 3 days earlier? Your phone is already watching you.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
