There should be daily televised executions of these animals, and as gory as possible....it would make some think twice about their next perversion.

It should not take seventeen years for justice to prevail.

Max DeYoung

Lawyers should be protecting the innocent, not the guilty. The victims, and their families are currently suffering the effects of a crime over, and over, and over again, while the public pays the financial burden for the criminal.

"If you kill we'll kill you" it's a bit of a deterrent. It's more expensive to leave them in prison their entire lives who pays for that we do.

Because is important for the society, the criminals they need to pay for the crime’s

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Harry D

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.
