It’s Your Call

By NewsPress Now $1,000,000 Tahoes I see where the city purchased 20 new Tahoes over $1,000,000. Why in the world does the city of Saint Joe Police Department need Tahoes for cars. No more patrolling that they do and vehicles sitting around. They should have bought Ford Pintos. Drive by the Police Department at any

By NewsPress Now Giving safe drivers a bad name I understand that we need to be mindful and watch for motorcycles going down the road. But when you’re sitting in a stoplight and you’re seeing somebody running 60, 70 miles an hour down the Belt Highway, popping wheelies on their bikes and running in and

By NewsPress Now Nothing but a scam St. Joe need to crack down on some of this stuff. The pan handlers on the corners and stuff have slowed down, but now there’s cars driving around, people saying they need gas money and they’re trying to sell gold jewelry, which I’m sure isn’t real gold jewelry.

By NewsPress Now They’re everywhere This is on abandoned properties. When I was a kid, you’d always see one empty house or something on the block, the scary house on the block. You go through St. Joe now and they’re everywhere. Abandoned properties are everywhere, houses boarded up, some that need to be boarded up,

By NewsPress Now Pray they come around I spent some time tonight talking with my Lord. I really have been down the last few days. The election when the way I hoped and prayed it would. I hope that they can turn things around. My fear is that this country is so divided, and I

By NewsPress Now It’s going to get worse I see where the trash service is going to go up. If you look around, St. Joe’s got so much trash on the streets, everywhere in the yards, you think it’s not going to get worse. People going to start throwing their bags of trash out in

By NewsPress Now Just a question Seeing Monday morning’s paper where Buchanan County is moving forward with spraying the weeds at Lake Contrary, why are we spraying the weeds at Lake Contrary in November when they’ll be frosted over and frozen and die? Just a question. Agree with objection I just heard about how they’re

By NewsPress Now All they’ve gotta do I’m just sitting here listening to some of the Democrats talk about what it’s going to cost to deport all these illegals in this country. Who cares what it costs? It doesn’t have to cost anything. They can walk in, they can just as easily walk out, take

By NewsPress Now They have class There’s one thing Republicans can’t take away from Democrats. They have class and are trustworthy and care about our democracy unlike convicted felon Trump and all his loyalists who will now run our government. He’s eminently qualified Whoopi Goldberg and “The View” complained because Pete Hegseth was a commentator

By NewsPress Now How will that work? I see in the paper where the city’s wanting to raise the landfill fees because we’re running out of ground to dump our waste in. Well, that’s a real smart move because this is what we get with these people running our city. We don’t have enough room

By NewsPress Now Disappointed I was disappointed after I read the article. St. Smarts by Alonzo Weston in Friday’s edition of the St. Joseph News-Press. We should be optimistic about what America has spoken for, its division like that that we don’t need in this country. And I think it would be better served to

By NewsPress Now Believe it or not I believe the city streets department of the City of St. Joseph deserves to be on “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” It is taking them longer to patch North 36th St. and Robin Lane between Karnes Road and Chris Hessler than it took MoDOT to rebuild a complete

By NewsPress Now Start using it You know, the other day I heard about this COVID relief fund that most states have, and I’m sure every county’s got it, too. The roads are a mess. I mean, it’s unbelievable. Some of the roads are so bad that come wintertime, these snowplows are going to be

By NewsPress Now Voting Thank you for the St. Joe people who came out to vote. Thirty-one thousand people came out to vote on Nov. 5. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I hope all 31,000 people come out to vote in April. We have the school bond, and the city’s new sport complex will

By NewsPress Now Tell Sleepy Joe Tell Sleepy Joe that the garbage has spoken and its Kamala that’s getting thrown out with the trash. Big slice of crow pie I think everyone needs to congratulate now-President Donald J. Trump on his victory over Kamala Harris, and in the meantime, a lot of Democrats need to

By NewsPress Now Please fix it I wish the city, and I don’t know who would be responsible for it, would take care of the pony express rider that’s done in stone above the 229 Interstate. It looks really terrible for visitors coming in bad statement please fix it. Making voting easy I wanted to

By NewsPress Now Never seen it in my life I’ve never in my 65 years of life and voting in this country seen all forms of news outlets push one candidate so strongly to the presidency. If this one Democrat does not become President of the United States, I don’t know what it will take

By NewsPress Now Not meant for the long-term On Proposition A, for the minimum wage to go up, if that goes up, if that goes through, everything will go up. Meals at restaurants, retail, hotels, etc. Minimum wage was meant for people starting out, not long-term supporting a family. We’re already great We have the

By NewsPress Now She’s at it again Well, Kamala Harris is at it again. She’s talking out of both sides of her mouth, depending on who she’s talking to and who she’s trying to impress. She says she does not believe in criticizing people and calling names because of who they vote for because of

By NewsPress Now It’s obvious I think it’s obvious that the City of St. Joseph needs to fire its street maintenance department and just hire Herzog to do the work. Herzog can finish a complete street in a day or less, and it takes city employees months to just repair a small strip of street.

By NewsPress Now Getting tired I’m getting tired of the Democratic Party. Even Robert Kennedy Jr. said they’ve changed drastically for the worst and Kamala Harris is constantly making fun of Donald Trump. Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, those comedians make horrible statements on their shows. I won’t even watch it anymore. Time for changes to

By NewsPress Now It’s our tax money, not theirs I just seen on TV where the school board took it on themselves to build a new high school. You know, that needs to go before the people. That’s our tax money that they’re using. Our tax money, not theirs. It’s ours. And I think it

By NewsPress Now What has he done? I see where the News-Press is endorsing Josh Hawley. What has he done for Northwest Missouri? He voted against the infrastructure bill. He never has town hall meetings, and he made a fool of himself at the Senate hearings. She defeated herself Kamala Harris has just defeated herself.

By NewsPress Now Just wondering I was just curious, the billboard sign, “In a wreck, need a check,” the one you see as you’re coming onto 229 off of 36 highway, is that for real or did somebody vandalize that sign? That’s hilarious. Rough economy To the caller who thinks this is the best economy

By NewsPress Now Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it amazing that the Democrats are having a fit because Elon Musk is supporting President Trump? Yet they turned a blind eye to George Soros and all the leftist things he supported and foisted on the American people. There should be no reason With regards to the abortion

By NewsPress Now Forgot an important word Patrick Mahomes recently said that his role concerning the upcoming election was to encourage folks to register to vote. He also said that they should vote for what is good for them and their families. He forgot one important word: Country. Draft two letters It’s time each one

By NewsPress Now Not our, nor the district’s, responsibility The taxpayers of St. Joseph, Missouri, gave our school districts money to hire new teachers and to try and retain the ones they got. We did not expect our tax dollars to be spent on manufacturing a new job that teach adults how to speak English.

By NewsPress Now Why no guardrail? Could someone explain from the Parks Department why there’s no safety guardrail on the new overpass going to the King Hill Overlook on Barbara St. There’s one on one side, but none on the north side. That’s a 120-foot drop down from Barbara Street, from the top of that

By NewsPress Now Why not use that? I see in the paper where the Parks Department got a big grant to build a pavilion out at Corby Pond. Where’s all these tax dollars going that we just passed for the Parks Department? Why are they not using that? It’s a waste of money, I think

By NewsPress Now Can’t believe it I just want to say that I cannot even believe that the school board is pursuing an idea of a new high school when we’ve got three beautiful high schools. There is absolutely no reason. We have a stable, perhaps declining population, certainly a declining student population. In this
