I’m furious about the city allowing Verizon to build a 4g tower next to the elementary. This is something the people should vote on. The city is putting business before its voters and should be fired

Heidi Owen

everything is!

Speculation about harmful towers, electrical plants and even cell phones at your head have been around for decades. If not harmful, speculation about such things would have been put to rest long ago.

I know they are bad for health. Several peer reviewed studies show it. Not 'believe' it's bad; I know. You can tell when you camp next to one. Don't believe me? Try it. Don't want to? Why not? lol

I don't think cell towers offer that much of a blow to our health, in the sense of how much radiation we're exposed to because of them. We'll be fine!

I don't know how these parents can worry about these towers when they all have a cell phone glued to their ear all the time, AND they let their children have them too.

I have lived with one in my backyard for 12 years and no problems.

Cell towers use microwaves(used in microwaves) and radio waves(used in radios)which have a longer wavelength than visible light(basically anything you can see)and short wavelengths are more dangerous

Pennie Day Holiday

No more then the sun. The protesters wasn't doing anything to protect their children from the sun.

I mean, I have a literal microwave generator in my kitchen.

Rachel Abudaram

I don’t think they are harmful at all

According to the ACS, they are most likely safe. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/radiation-exposure/cellular-phone-towers.html

Quite frankly there are other things that have an actual impact on your health like drinking soda and exercising that you should be more concerned about.

Elizabeth Spalding

Agree. It's easier to focus on arbitrary things like cell towers than actually have to look at real things that control your health, like diet and exercise!

Are you kidding with this question???? ICE is staffed by a bunch of n'er-do-wells and untrained baffoons at the behest of the corrupt person in the WH!! Of course! there should be NO ICE facilities anywhere in this country!!

Oakley Taylor

ICE is a dangerous entity and their presence only inspires unnecessary violence in our communities. They have no place in our state, our country.

Deborah Sanderson

I am fed up with right wing jack boots trying to turn to us all into thugs and hatefull people. They have already put the dumbest most corrupt liar, cheat, racist, bigot, adulterer, and all around dumb ass in the white house.
