Instead of fixing all the restrooms up for somebody to come by and vandalize and tear them up, why don’t they just put some Johnny-on-the-Spots up there and use those restrooms when they when they need them?

By NewsPress Now Cemetery looked great I’d like to compliment the staff at Mount Olivet Cemetery on how good the grounds looked, and the flags were beautiful. Thank you, veterans I’ve been watching the movies on TV about all of our veterans that fought in wars to keep us safe. I want to thank all

By NewsPress Now What’s up with that? Trump keeps saying he wants to get his side of the story out, but when they give him a chance to testify under oath, he passes. What’s up with that? Reminds me of Vietnam Listening to the news this morning about the bombing over the weekend that supposedly

By NewsPress Now Win or lose voters? Is Donald Trump’s “unified Reich” going to win voters or make them aware of the authoritarian threat he poses?

By NewsPress Now It’s no Garden of Eden You know, if this town’s so fantastic to live in, this is the Garden of Eden in the Midwest, then where’s all the fantastic up-living civilians trying to get in this town and live here? You don’t see any lined up, do you? You want to know

By NewsPress Now Laugh, laugh, laugh Laugh, laugh, laugh about the sewer tax rate going up. That is horrible, terrible for this city. I am a widow on Social Security. My water bill is $20, $21 and my sewer tax bill is $53. Something is wrong there. Dangerous situation Could someone from the Parks Department

By NewsPress Now Jump off that train wreck If all American publicly traded companies were like Trump media, no one would buy stocks. In the greatest capitalistic country that ever existed, Trump’s company lost $300 million in the first quarter of 2024 on declining revenues, while paying its executives millions. If you are a stockholder,

By NewsPress Now It shouldn’t burden taxpayers For the person who informed us that sewer surcharge is a fee, not a tax, I want to inform them that that should fall under infrastructure, which should come under the general fund, not an extra expense to burden taxpayers. A detriment to the city You can call

By NewsPress Now It’s a fee, not a tax I wish people would realize that the sewer fee is not a tax. It is a user fee based on usage. Our sewer system is a utility that is owned and operated by the city. If you want to reduce your sewer fee, then reduce the

By NewsPress Now Stop raising taxes St. Joe’s wondering where all the population of the city’s going. Well, they’re raising the taxes: school taxes, sewer taxes, this tax, that tax.

By NewsPress Now Going up and up Here we go again. The taxes go up and up and up. The school district wants to raise their taxes, the sewer bill’s going up 4%. With all the rate increases the last couple of years under the current administration, nobody can afford to live. It is horrible

By NewsPress Now Can’t believe it I can’t believe the City of St. Joseph is going to raise a sewer tax once again. Does the City Council or the city of St. Joseph not listen to its people? The people are tired of the sewer taxes going up and up. I, for one, am ready

By NewsPress Now Wouldn’t it be great? I’ve been doing some research on the recent one school versus two schools for the St. Joseph School District. I did some calculations, and if we go with one giant school for the city of St. Joseph, it will be the largest school in the state of Missouri

By NewsPress Now Simply ridiculous The Missouri Highway Patrol is 130 officers short. They cannot respond to accidents on U.S. highways, but our governor sends them to Texas. Ridiculous. America’s not stupid I believe all this theft with Trump happened a long time ago, before he was president the first time. The American voters can

By NewsPress Now An absolute disgrace Donald Trump is an absolute disgrace to this country. Trump has indictments against him, sexually assaulted a woman, tried to overturn election and much more. For Republicans to support this kind of behavior is even worse for our country. It’s not the Boy Scouts Now a lot of us
