A Republican state senator on the Senate Appropriations Committee slashed $500,000 from the AG's budget request, citing lawsuits against school districts as the reason.

Schmitt hurt our schools financially. He should be fired!

Jack L

How could anyone NOT trust a face like that? xD

Max

The school board members that chose to break the law, hurt your schools financially. Eric upheld the law. The school board members should be held responsible, for any and all losses.

Jack L

Eric Schmitt needs to keep his nose out of school board decisions. He`s only doing this so he can advance himself politically. Leave the schools alone

Adam

Amen Jack

Max

School boards don't write the laws, but they do have to obey them..

Adam

This piece of crap has/had nothing better to do than sue schools for protecting our children. Just because HE thinks it's wrong, doesn't mean he can bully schools into doing it how he thinks it should be done

Adam

And I sure as hell hope I'm never like he is.

Max

I am glad that Eric and I are a Christians, and don't think about the sickness that you adore.

Adam

Take a second to breathe and pry your mouth off Eric's junk already. Good lord

Max

Thirty minutes of research, and you would find out just how wonderful of a person Eric Schmitt is, and how many good things he has done for Missouri and our Nation. You could never even follow Eric through even one days work. You and Jackle are nothing compared to Eric, and never will be.

Adam

Same place you get your common sense. Oh right you and the rest of the right wing whack jobs don't have that

Max

Oh, it's little Adam, the legal advisor. Where did you get your law degree? Cheerios, Wheaties, or Captain Crunch?

Many Missourians were opposed to school mask mandates when they were in place.

He made a ruling that some didn't like regarding schools and masks. He also made some happy with the same rule. This is another example of people trying to punish and silence others, who don't follow their way of thinking. So very childish.

Max

The liberals at Columbia Public Schools had issues with obeying the law.

Max

Eric Schmitt could become Missouri's next US Senator. There are many fine GOP people in this race. If Eric wins, he will have my full support. He has done an outstanding job, as Missouri's Atty. General. I don't have any respect for the RINO that wants to slash his budget. LGB

Lisa Gore

This News Outlet even asking this question is playing politics and not standing up for the Constitution. How about asking: Do you Support the Consititution? Or Do You Think Schmitt Upheld the US Consitution? Let’s see that question instead.

Should have filed more.

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Max

So, you support Iran? Well, I support America.

Nikki Wrinkles

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

You need a more fuel-efficient car.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Max

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

Steve Baumann

Far bigger issues than fuel prices

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.

Fred

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.
