The state Senate considered Tuesday a boost to Lincoln's land-grant funding. The school has had money woes in recent years.

Lincoln was there for me. It is a great asset to the Jefferson City community. Making Lincoln stronger and better means that everybody wins.

Because they are the most reasonable college that is close for the surrounding area. Plus, some students can not afford to attend Mizzou. They are also very strong in the School of Nursing and the School of Agriculture.

Lincoln has better Nursing Degrees as well as School Teacher Degrees than MU, at less cost to the students. However Lincoln does not have the four year Culinary Degrees, that MU offers, that can get you a chef's position at Bandana's, for $16 an hour.

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.
