President Donald Trump on Sunday signed coronavirus pandemic stimulus legislation that includes $600 payments to most Americans. Some had pushed for payments of $1,200 or more.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has no sense of reality of people that make $75000 or less. Many do not live in the real world.. do hgt see the lines for food and hardships. Sad.

The economy needs the boost. Every free country in the world has done WAY more for their citizens. Great Britain and Canada have been issuing $1,200 a month checks to their citizens since March 2020. WHY DOES THIS COUNTRY DO MORE FOR OTHERS THEN IT DOES FOR ITS OWN PEOPLE? US FIRST FOR A CHANGE!

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

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.

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.
