I believe it is a good thing, but it should have been approved by the voters. Not created in the illegitimate manner that it was. A very unorthodox way to serve the public. I have mixed feeling about how this was done.

Harold Kerr II

It matters not hoe this was approved. MODOT will fritter the money away, just as they have their entire existence.

The tax hike has plenty of opponents and similar measures have been rejected by Missouri voters several times.

We should be using Lotto money in a better manner.

Harold Kerr II

MODOT will waste the money just as they have all their career. MODOT is a money pit and giving them more money is a waste of money time and effort.

Police say the guns, one of which was used in a Kansas City-area school shooting, are practically untraceable and available to anyone.

The weapons, available in kits at gun shows and online, are legal in all but a few states.

When you get a drivers license, you should also be administered a CCW and a 9mm.

Max DeYoung

No, because blue states give "illegal aliens" drivers licenses, without even having to take a test. Then they use the drivers licenses, as proof to vote.

60 Missouri Peace Officers Associations wanted to enforce illegal Federal Firearm Laws. More than 540 Missouri Peace Officers Associations disagreed. This is an attempt to override the 2nd Amendment. It's time to punish criminals, not law abiding Americans. Lets get rid of this phony administration.

Some are pushing for the U.S. and European Union to ban imports of oil from Russia to punish the country for its invasion of Ukraine.

WE have our own wells- Let's get them open!!!

Belinda Kitchen

Because why should we help the Russians in any way. After all the caused this war . Biden needs to open up our pipelines here in the US!!!!

Max DeYoung

It is the common sense answer, and the humanity based answer. Joe won't do it though. He stands to lose to much personal income.

Justin Ballz

Correct. biden sucks.

Mae Paulo

We only bring in 3% of our fuel from Russia. The gas price hike is not because of the lies politicians are pushing.

Zaos Gonzolez

Ban taxes and public schools.

So far the U.S. and EU have resisted such a ban, worrying it would drive up consumer prices too much.

We need to force oil prices upwards in order to unite behind the president's plan to ensure we all must purchase $60,000.00 electric vehicles, preferably non-American made,

Max DeYoung

Joe would demand we buy them from his blood brother, and joint businessman Xi Jinping. That way Joe gets his 10%.
