I believe it is a good thing, but it should have been approved by the voters. Not created in the illegitimate manner that it was. A very unorthodox way to serve the public. I have mixed feeling about how this was done.

It matters not hoe this was approved. MODOT will fritter the money away, just as they have their entire existence.

The tax hike has plenty of opponents and similar measures have been rejected by Missouri voters several times.

We should be using Lotto money in a better manner.

Harold Kerr II

MODOT will waste the money just as they have all their career. MODOT is a money pit and giving them more money is a waste of money time and effort.

I'm unsure, possibly Benjamin Franklin, said that once we begin giving up our liberties in the name of safety is the day democracy begins to die. Okay, so the words aren't 100% and I'm unsure who is "quoted",but we are headed in that direction. Im notcomfortable with camera etc4 poss future threat

Because we need it to assist with catching the criminals to keep our community safer. Witnesses are afraid to come forward, and the police are short handed.

The govt has facial recognition of all the domestic terrorists in Portland Or. but won't prosecute them, but will go after innocent mothers at school board meetings. Go figure, you may be the next one arrested. Your own words from three months ago. "Privacy concerns and government over reach!" LGB

I am more worried about being tracked and spied on by my cell phone. Save some of your COVID masks, they are worthless at preventing COVID but might help protect you against facial recognition surveillance at the upcoming anti-gov protests. Leave your phone at home when going to protests.
