Its Your Call for April 11

Any solutions? There are numerous families that have changed from Optimum to other providers for television. Optimum is not cancelling service the day that they stop the service, they’re charging you for the entire month. They’re saying that it’s from a contract that we signed when asked for a copy of that contract to read

Making America worse Trump’s tariffs, which are tax increases, have cost us $6 trillion in the past few days. And he’s fired thousands of federal employees. And cut funding to many social programs and services. We pay taxes for and depend on. He’s rapidly making America worse. Unbelievable I just noticed the ugly gold furnishings

What do you do?  You can’t get an ID in this town unless you have a mailing address. And if you’re homeless and you lost everything, wallet, ID, home, everything. How are you supposed to get an ID when you don’t have a mailing address? You can’t even get a box of food if you’re homeless in this town without a proper ID. Well, if you’re homeless and you don’t have the

I can sleep better now I see where the stable genius in the White House has imposed a 10% tariff on the uninhabited islands of Heard and McDonald near Antarctica. I can sleep better at night knowing the penguins and seals there are not taking advantage of the good old U.S.A.  No spines You know,

Get it cleaned up Okay, winter’s over. The streets of St. Joe look like crap because the city can’t get out and fix the potholes. They’re going to say they don’t have the money or the manpower. St. Joe’s getting tired of hearing excuses from the city. Why don’t we have Trump come in here

He’s got to go Trump is now saying that he’ll probably run again for president, even though the Constitution says he can’t, which would make it against the law for him to do it. But he doesn’t think the laws apply to him in his first term. He wanted to get rid of the Constitution.

Some good news on population

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — One thread connects many of St. Joseph’s problems. Crime, jobs or schools? Those are big issues, but a deeper look reveals something else. Since the bogus Census count of 1900, population loss has been a thorn in the community’s side. It’s not just a matter of pride. Growing communities

Would like an explanation It’d be nice if Trump could explain why he thinks it’s so necessary to take over Greenland, even with force. We already have a military base there. We had 17 there. It’s been downsized. We have military bases all over the world. These countries let us put them there for their security,

A depressing drive Stay off of Southwest Parkway. Dumped tires, bags of trash, litter everywhere. It’s a very depressing drive anymore. It used to be beautiful. Now it’s just the new landfill. Please get this street done I was just wondering, does anybody know what they’re doing on that S. 36th St. It’s been a

Constituent representation When will elected officials begin to do their job of representing their constituents? I have just read two articles in the News-Press and neither article states how the organizers contacted their electors to act in their behalf. The first is the article about removing the I-229 overpass. I know MoDOT engineers are not

Return to sender The postal service continues to surprise me. The organization delivers millions of pieces of mail daily, at a reasonable cost. But then there are incidents such as these: My son and daughter-in-law and I last week each received back a piece of mail, each marked “Return to Sender. Not deliverable as addressed.

A lack of responsible adults Jodi Flurry from United Way states, “The low supply of housing stock is a real challenge because there’s even people who have a housing voucher through the public Housing Authority, but they can’t find a rental unit, so they stay homeless.” St. Joseph doesn’t have a lack of housing —

Overwhelmed with shame I am horrified and ashamed of the way our guest, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was treated at the White House last week. The “spiders” invited the “fly” into our “parlor” and then, true bullies that they are, they sucker punched him, talking over him, shouting at him, attempting to shame him for

Bond issue Transparency for voters! What a novel idea. Just weeks before a new bond issue comes before voters, the Saint Joseph School District admits using a private, yet tax funded, e-mail account to “advise” recipients of information about the 2024 bond. How many times has this happened and not reported? Simple transparency! The most
