Pay up

I’m calling regarding the people who are pushing for the school tax levy. Perhaps they should be sent a bill for the last election, where the levy failed. The school tax was the only issue on the ballot, and it failed. Perhaps they should pay a bill to the county for holding the election.

A quitter?

Here is an opinion on Sarah Palin. Winners never quit and quitters never win. She turned her back on her responsibilities as governor, she turned her back on the people of Alaska. Is that really the kind of person that people want in Washington, D.C.? I don’t think so.

Now guess

What is with this obstacle course they call Downtown? Every time you turn around, there’s another street torn up. Where’s the announcement that they are going to tear up the street? I mean, do you have to guess those things?

Keep it clean

To the city of St. Joseph and the people who keep the streets clean: St. Joseph is a windy city. And whenever the wind blows, any dirt that’s in the street will blow right along with it. Now, in the Downtown area, we have a lot of construction, and there’s a lot of debris where they’re working. St. Joseph, you need to get your machines and go clean the streets. It’s going to damage the cars.

Why vote?

Doesn’t the school district get it? We went to the polls a few months ago and voted no on the levy. No means no. Why do they want to put this issue before us again? Why do we even vote in the first place?

Too much

Why does everyone think they need to be tipped? You go to restaurants, or you order pizza, and they come to the door and they stand there and hand you the pizza. I spend enough money on food. I don’t mind tipping a waitress, but tip a pizza driver or tip a hairstylist? They’re making enough money the way it is.

Bugged

Everybody is making a big deal about the sludge in Cameron. I remember growing up in the late 1960s and early ’70s, and would play out in the streets. The mosquito trucks would come by and spray chemicals in the neighborhoods to try to get rid of all the mosquitoes. I’d like to know what kinds of chemicals they were spraying on us kids back then. Should we worry about brain tumors or cancer? I’ve already had cancer once.
