By NewsPress Now How will that work? I see in the paper where the city’s wanting to raise the landfill fees because we’re running out of ground to dump our waste in. Well, that’s a real smart move because this is what we get with these people running our city. We don’t have enough room

By NewsPress Now Disappointed I was disappointed after I read the article. St. Smarts by Alonzo Weston in Friday’s edition of the St. Joseph News-Press. We should be optimistic about what America has spoken for, its division like that that we don’t need in this country. And I think it would be better served to

By NewsPress Now Believe it or not I believe the city streets department of the City of St. Joseph deserves to be on “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” It is taking them longer to patch North 36th St. and Robin Lane between Karnes Road and Chris Hessler than it took MoDOT to rebuild a complete

By NewsPress Now Tell Sleepy Joe Tell Sleepy Joe that the garbage has spoken and its Kamala that’s getting thrown out with the trash. Big slice of crow pie I think everyone needs to congratulate now-President Donald J. Trump on his victory over Kamala Harris, and in the meantime, a lot of Democrats need to

By NewsPress Now Please fix it I wish the city, and I don’t know who would be responsible for it, would take care of the pony express rider that’s done in stone above the 229 Interstate. It looks really terrible for visitors coming in bad statement please fix it. Making voting easy I wanted to

By NewsPress Now Never seen it in my life I’ve never in my 65 years of life and voting in this country seen all forms of news outlets push one candidate so strongly to the presidency. If this one Democrat does not become President of the United States, I don’t know what it will take

By NewsPress Now Not meant for the long-term On Proposition A, for the minimum wage to go up, if that goes up, if that goes through, everything will go up.

By NewsPress Now Getting tired I’m getting tired of the Democratic Party. Even Robert Kennedy Jr. said they’ve changed drastically for the worst and Kamala Harris is constantly making fun of Donald Trump. Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, those comedians make horrible statements on their shows. I won’t even watch it anymore. Time for changes to

By NewsPress Now It’s our tax money, not theirs I just seen on TV where the school board took it on themselves to build a new high school. You know, that needs to go before the people. That’s our tax money that they’re using. Our tax money, not theirs. It’s ours. And I think it

By NewsPress Now What has he done? I see where the News-Press is endorsing Josh Hawley. What has he done for Northwest Missouri? He voted against the infrastructure bill.
