I have three teachers in my family and they work so hard for so little. YES, they need and deserve to be paid more.

Gerald Turnage

Under Missouri law teachers are required to get a Master degree. The education that is required has to pay more. These people teach our children. I do not agree with some of what is taught or allowing kids to get away with their actions and I do not agree with the unions and am against them .

I don't put much stock in Teachers anymore after raising my kids. It's changed so much since I went to school that I couldn't help with their home work. Then the Teacher tells me that my kids will fail due to my lack of knowledge, thought that was why she was getting paid?

Not until teacher unions and CRT are gone.

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

Max

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
