It’s Your Call for May 12

Just ask them

The next time you vote for a state representative in Buchanan County, ask them if they voted to give $50,000,000 to private and church schools and not fund our public schools. 

A lot better

Now that they're going to fix Lake Contrary, they need the residents around there to be put on sewer, so the stuff won't be going back into the lake and make it cleaner, and maybe rent a motor in there, like they do at Lake of Three Fires that keeps the water clean. It would be a lot better. 

Clear answer

Regarding the bond fallout, building new high schools, you say the district doesn't know what the public wants. I think our voting “no” is a clear answer for what the district needs to know. We want to keep three high schools and have them fixed up.  

Beautiful downtown

This past weekend I had the experience of visiting downtown Lawrence, Kansas. What a beautiful, thriving, alive, busy downtown with restaurants, outdoor dining, shopping old architecture, but clean and modern parking available, sidewalks full of people. This is what a downtown Midwestern city should look like. 

Doesn't understand

Does Trump not understand we, the taxpayer, will pay the higher prices caused by the tariffs? China eating the tariffs will be like Mexico paying for the wall.
