A Cole County judge ruled last week that such orders from non-elected officials were unconstitutional. Attorney General Eric Schmitt has sued local governments over health orders.

Because they have no authority over the public.

Lisa Gore

They are not elected representatives of our constitutional rights not to enter into a health care system of our own God-Given Free Will of choice.

No one has the right, to override anyone's Constitutional Rights.

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.

Fred

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

Max

Zaos Gonzolez
