Moberly school district has a no phone policy already and it works well. Kids are learning more and less distraction. If parents need to get ahold of the kids they can call the office instead of the kids trying to have their parents get them out just cause they don't want to be there .

Too much liberal misinformation in the news on those phones.

As a retired teacher I had students spending great amounts of energy trying to hide their phone activity. A silent phone in a backpack is fine. If a parent has an emergency where they need to contact the student, they should call the main office.

Except for an emergency, there is no reason for them to have their phones. I feel they should have have, but need extreme restrictions and consequences for having them out. They'll be fine without games and social media while they work.

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.
