As the Adult vote comes in, you will see the Blue become the larger percentage. The Parental Rights Bill will pass this coming session.

They killed the parents rights bill. And many other meaningful bills like election integrity and banning election machines and absentee mail in ballots...drop boxes. Needs to happen.

Max

Did they kill them, or fail to reach a decent plan of action? A bad plan is worse than no plan. If you don't believe me, take a look at Joe and his administration.

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.

Debbie Kay Shellman Anthony

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.

Max

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.

Higher education sometimes falls behind other priorities in state budget planning, such as K-12 education.

Just because someone was convicted of drunk driving for the first time, doesn't mean it was their first time driving drunk. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show first-time offenders have, on average, driven drunk about 80 times before getting caught. Show Less

Everyone knows you should not drink and drive.

Tracy John

I agree however, one beer shouldn't get you a DWI or DUI either.

Debra Coffey

It is not the first time they drove drunk and can change behaviour. It's just first time they were caught.

An offender's first time getting caught drunk driving shouldn't force them to get an ignition interlock device.

I believe that people caught driving while high on Fentanyl, Heroin, Meth, or anything similar should be treated the same way as alcohol intoxication, but they are not.

Larry Sabulsky

I see people smoking joints driving beside my. That makes me feel real good also. They need to be arrested.
