By NewsPress Now Terrible mistake, in my opinion I’m calling about the Missouri Western State University Athletic Department. They just made a decision, I understand, to take their ball games off of KFEQ radio. For me, that’s a terrible mistake on their part. Lots of lies I just heard Hakeem Jefferies praise Biden as the

By NewsPress Now Business as usual Well, good news, St. Joseph. I see we have a new police chief, but that’s not the good news. The good news is it’s business as usual. No checking for outdated drivers license plates and no chasing the bad guys. In other words, it’s business as usual. Before they

By NewsPress Now Truly tacky Isn’t there supposed to be some kind of a barrier in the fencing to block the view of that junkyard on 22nd St. just south of Garfield? That is truly, truly, tacky. They need to seal that up. Others have black paper around them. This is just a junkyard in

By NewsPress Now Dumber than a box of rocks I have seen MoDOT do some ignorant things in my life. But to close down I-29 before you get to 36 Highway, which I want to go east on, that’s dumber than a box of rocks. The raises they deserve I’m calling about the August election,

By NewsPress Now When will they be done? I’m calling about the street construction on S. 36th St. This has gone on for almost a year. I sat there and I watched and there’s days there’s nobody there. When are they ever going to get this done so we can use this street? He’s the

By NewsPress Now Fix the potholes Hey, St. Joe, you know, it’s about time you go out to the North Shoppes and fix them big old potholes. I about lost my car when I was going from Walmart to AT&T. You know, it’s bad enough that you can’t fix the streets, but you get rent

By NewsPress Now It’s a shame It’s a shame that they couldn’t have caught the attempted assassin on Trump alive. Maybe they could have squeezed it out of him if he was acting alone, or if what his motive was, or if he was hired, or what. But I’m sure the FBI is going to

By NewsPress Now Get on the ball, St. Joe I was calling about the senior citizens. You know, there’s other states that’s passed and towns that have passed for the senior citizens to not to pay property tax so they can have money to buy their food and their medication and other things they desperately

By NewsPress Now Why isn’t it happening here? Are Buchanan County seniors ever going to get a break on property taxes? It’s happening everywhere else. Why not here? Looking for a solution We didn’t know what to do. Today, like many days, between 9:18 and 10:20, we received 23 calls from all different areas that

By NewsPress Now When will this stop? I just opened my energy bill and there was the notice in there that they are asking again for another rate hike. They said it could be up to $17 and some odd cents per month, almost $18 more per month. When will this stop? People on fixed

By NewsPress Now That’s just life This is a comment on the It’s Your Call column in Monday’s paper, “It could be worse.” Interest rates on mortgages, yes, back in 1981, when Jimmy Carter was president, the market interest rate on mortgages was over 18% because I had one. Couldn’t get any one close to

By NewsPress Now Be considerate I live in North End around the park area and people in the neighborhood celebrate the 4th before and well past the curfew hour of 10 p.m. Some of us have to work and I really would like to get some sleep. Please be considerate. Why raise the rates? If

By NewsPress Now Might get something good out of it That sports center they’re wanting to build, why not just knock down East Hills because you can’t go out there and shop anyway? So, you might as well tear it down and put a sports center there. May get some good out of it. Can’t
