we don't need anymore Predators in positions of Power

Max DeYoung

That eliminates all democrats.

Kevin Reed

I do not feel he has the experience at the highest level of leadership to effectively lead the DoD.

Max DeYoung

He certainly doesn't have the qualifications that Biden and his people seem to display.

Belinda Kitchen

Cause we need people that don't have that type of past trying to help with Trump.

With Two Bronze Star Medals, Pete Hegseth is a United States Armed Forces decorated soldier for heroic achievement, heroic service, meritorious achievement, and meritorious service in a combat zone. Pete has the experience and the leadership skills required for this job.

Eric Smith

Everything at this point is just a media witch hunt. There have been no convictions for wrongdoing. Besides, once Trump takes office, he can just give him a pardon for anything he might have done in the past 50 years.

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.

Zaos Gonzolez

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.
