It’s Your Call for May 29

Useless spending

I see the city is coming up and spending more money for an aquatic center indoors. I don't know how they spend our money. I wish Donald Trump would come here and fire everyone on the school board and everyone in the city hall. And if the Police Department doesn't step up, they need to be gone, too. Maybe then they'll get somebody in there to watch them spending our money on useless things like Krug Park Bowl, a drug hangout. So, why don't St. Joe wake up and quit spending our money on useless stuff? 

Catch the speeders

I was wondering why the speeders can't be caught in St. Joe. They have closed 752, so there is plenty of traffic going down 22nd St. The big dirt hauling trucks are going anywhere from 50 to 60 miles an hour and using their Jake Brake to stop. 

Just my opinion

I'd like to make a few comments. First of all, they're wanting to raise the sewer rates, and the rates now are impossible for people to afford. I'm just saying it's ridiculous, period. Also, they're wanting to build new schools to bring in people, but St. Joe has high utilities, high crime. The city and MoDOT don't take care of the highways or the streets. This city looks like crap. Why would anybody want to come here and live when everything is so high, crime is bad and nobody cares? Sorry, that's just my opinion. 

How they voted

I urge the editor to publish how our local representative Josh Hawley, Sam Graves and others vote on Trump's beautiful bill.  

Editor’s note: As of May 28, the Senate has not voted on the bill. Local House Rep. Sam Graves voted “yea.”
