I find the painting of famous Native American hunter pointing a rifle at a man preticuly racist.

Civic art need not be eternal, especially if it is meant to tell a story, as this art is. Time to support new artists and reconsider the impact of the visuals we choose for our public spaces.

We need more pictures of gays, and gay things. Just to make sure that everyone knows they’re are gays.

We must control history, to be able to control the future.

We need to be reminded of the past and the progress made from those events. Proposals of this ilk simply appease those with personal agendas who feel they are more important than history itself. They feel they are more important than than the rest of us when in reality we are aware they are not.

History can be ugly, but removing the reality of it would be much worse! Denying history would translate to a repeat of it.

We should not be destroying history. It is important to see just how far we have come in so many ways. Those murals help demonstrate that.

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

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.

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.
