By NewsPress Now Take up the electric bike issue I am really begging the city council, the city manager, the city attorney, somebody to take up the issue of electric bikes and other vehicles that are on the Parkway system on the regular sidewalks.

By NewsPress Now One of the perks I guess one of the perks of being the incumbent is you can go to Arlington and take photographs for any reason you want, and nobody will complain. You can also sic the Justice Department on your opponent to drive him out of the office. Not a prop

By NewsPress Now Doesn’t make sense I don’t understand a small local business catches on fire and within just a few short hours the owner and their employees are allowed inside the structure, moving things out and moving things around, possibly destroying evidence on the origin of the fire. It doesn’t make sense. Armed security

By NewsPress Now Be more inclusive I just heard on the news about the schools, that the kids or the parents could win $500 for attendance. I don’t think that’s fair to the other schools that wasn’t included in those four. I think they should open that up to the whole school district and maybe

By NewsPress Now City manager search I see where our mayor and City Council are looking for a new city manager. Well, how much are they going to spend this time of our tax dollars like they did last time, and then they hired from within? How to watch the Chiefs Help! How do I

By NewsPress Now Old-fashioned method A good way to increase the attendance at the St. Joseph School District is to go to the old-fashioned method.

By NewsPress Now She’s a chameleon A chameleon changes its color so it blends in with the background and you can’t see it, and that’s exactly what Harris is doing. She’s trying to change her positions to make everybody believe that she is going to be different than what she truly is. She is a

By NewsPress Now Demand honesty and integrity Above all else, we must demand that our elected leaders be honest and abide by the laws of the land.

By NewsPress Now Speed checks in school area School is near. Could periodic speed checks be run on Beck Rd. between Ashland Ave. and 36th St.? There are no cross streets and that allows drivers to speed well above the 25 mile an hour zone. Also, where does the school zone end? There are no

By NewsPress Now Here we go again Here we go again. The City Council is refusing to listen to the people’s voice. They want to put in another splash pad that doesn’t get used, but they don’t want to put in swimming pools that the public is demanding. They only want to put in a

By NewsPress Now Take care of the trash When can we stop talking about all these politics? Why can’t St. Joe take care of the trash all over the city? Don’t think it’s temporary I drove by Applebee’s and was shocked to see them tearing it down. I remember when they closed Applebee’s. I remember

By NewsPress Now How can anyone say that? How can anyone say that Joe Biden resigned for the good of the country? For over a year, the mainstream media and the Democratic Party told us that Joe was on the top of his game. Well, the debate actually proved that Joe isn’t competent, so they
