Biden already raised it a dollar, and it's going to get a lot worse!

We need a Road Tax on electric cars.

Fred Colbern

We have a MODOT traffic engineer in my hometown here who is an absolute rude, arrogant know-it-all piece of garbage that think timing stoplights is some kind of rocket science and doesn't care about the values of the local community. And he is a graduate of UM Columbia which is a disgraced school.

James Ronald Jeffries

WE are taxed on taxes now,just another way for the government to steal from us , Jim

Peggy Carney

Gas prices are to high now, we won't have car on the road if they do this.

Harold Kerr II

MODOT has NEVER shown me that they are a good stewards of the money they get. The always come back wanting more and the roads still get worse. I see so much of the work being done on mowing along the roads INSTEAD OF fixing THE ROADS. MODOT IS A MONEY PIT. USELESS.

Fred Colbern

I've had nothing but bad experiences with their "Traffic engineers" in my hometown. We have one I have complained to several times who is an absolute know-it-all jerk. He even harasses people who disagree with him. Bunches of us around here are trying to get his college degree and license revoked.

Max

The last attempt to raise the gas tax, less than half was going to the roads, the rest was going to go to the Highway Patrol. What we need is Truth in Advertising, and responsible spending.

It's very cool.

Bill Douglas

UM athletics is an arm of govt. they do not earn anything. That Univ produces nothing but obnoxious computer geeks who get jobs for state govt agencies like the DOT spending their days synchronizing traffic lights that nobody understands like the asburgers nerd we have in my hometown up here in NWMO

What a tragic waste of money.

Bill Douglas

So what are you going to do about it?

Bill Douglas

so what are you going to do about it? Just sit there and complain online or are you going to actually do something to put a stop to this we are here in my hometown. We are filing complaints against any state employee we can think of who graduated from this university: REVOKE THEIR DEGREES!!!

Will Mason

I didn't know we had 250 million laying around to spend on sports.

Bill Douglas

Would you like the name and number of a state employee who is a graduate of this university? Who continues to support this athletic program? Would you join our effort to remove him from state employment for being a UM grad?

Harry D

MU Athletics makes their money the hard way - they earn it.

Zaos Gonzolez

This is so destructive to the environment. I want MU to close for good. MU RUINS MO!

Bill Douglas

if you really believe that, what do you propose we do about the alumni and supporters of this university and it’s athletic programs? are you willing to join our effort to hold these people accountable? Would you be willing to start filing complaints against alumni of this university employers?

Like most drivers, I have one hand holding my fast food, other hand holding my cell phone, a knee on the steering wheel, and rarely look up from my cell phone so I don't know if other drivers are so irresponsible to be driving distracted or not. I certainly don't drive distracted, that's bad. FJB

Faye Friedrich

Many time ppl are seen looking/using phone while driving crossing the line on the road or having to slam on their brakes so they don't hit the car in front of them.

Zaos Gonzolez

Culture isn't legislated.
