No. Once again, always trying to find a way to hurt business and increase an already expensive cost of living. Give us a break!

Cities need to budget their funds. That's it , stop under building roads. Reed Market is a prime example. Now they are trying to figure out how to extort more money to expand an under built roadway.

We pay enough for gas it supposed to pay for roads. We need to FIRE who ever paved the road on the parkway. The on-ramp there by Robinson Collision down to Food 4 Less they did a terrible job.

Restaurants have been increasing costs to patrons from menu items and tip ratios, adding on a road tax to the tab is insulting. Add the road tax to tourist driven items like airbnbs.

has nothing to do with restaurants. Tax taxis, Uber, Lyft etc; redirect $ from city's travel marketing & park/reck(which gets lots of $); tax or eliminate studded tires

Adding sales tax to prepared food purchases will hurt businesses & families. Once a sales tax is added, it will always exist and will always increase.There are other ways to fund road work.

No, but we may need toll roads or something. Some folk don't use the roads very much, some are on them constantly. They never stay home.

Take some funds from Park and Rec. is a better approach to fund additional road improvements.

We already pay taxes for roads. Budget the money and spend wisely. With the increased population comes an increase in tax dollars collected.

The city and county get plenty of money from us taxpayers, they need to make better choices and fix roads with the taxes they get, and fix the traffic issues we have before allowing more building.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
