The safety of our children and staff should be priority number one during this world pandemic.

Melanie Cusick

Per your Tuesday Update, yes, transmission has *slowed,* but nearly all of Missouri, including Boone and all its surrounding counties, are still shown to have "high" levels of transmission.

Your comprehension of numbers is just outstanding.

Some schools in Mid-Missouri have rolled back mask mandates as the delta-driven wave of new cases has slowed.

Take masks off of these babies! This youngest generation of children at school have a hard enough time paying attention as it is, let alone just wrapping up their face for most of the day so they have something to play with.

Liberals don't care about children. That's why they love abortion.

Courtney Lucas

Masks should be optional. CPS only cares about the ESSER money they receive for keeping mandates in place. They do not care about our kids!!!

Max

Mask the teachers and other adult staff. Leave the children alone.

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.
