These types of situations are not political. Are there some politics involved? The answer is yes. When it comes to threats the political side of it doesn't matter. Threats have legal conciseness that come with them and can be very serious. The Justice Dept needs to get into threat investigations

Mary Ann Bittle

It's definitely ~very~ political, sadly. The MO GQP (formerly GOP) is really intent on protecting their KKK White Supremacist activities; no way they'd want to have qualified investigators involved.

When there are dangerous White Supremecists making threats at our the most local levels of government, yes, somebody should do something about it.

We are so fortunate that this socialist Garland did not get selected for the SCOTUS.

School board members should not be threatened because of differences of opinion. People should learn to disagree in a more civilized manner

They are already stretched too thin, while harassing Americans for other reasons.

The MO school board association yesterday separated from the NSBA who owes millions in backtaxes while Biden’s admin gave the leader of corrupt NBSA a high level position in his cabinet. Merrick Garland head of Justice Department’s son has a company promoting CRT. It’s personal Conflict of Interest!

Doj has enough other things to look into. Trump, Steve Bannon, Proud Boys, etc.

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.
