It’s Your Call

By NewsPress Now Benefit the many If the city of Saint Joseph has $7 million to give to a nonprofit, private organization for the benefit of a few, let them instead put it into our sewer project to benefit the many. Fix the other bridges first Just seen where they’re going to close the Riverside

By NewsPress Now Surely that’s cheaper I just heard on TV that our City of St. Joseph is donating $7 million to the Y for an indoor pool. My question is, wouldn’t it be cheaper to go down to the empty building that used to be the Y and fix the pool that’s there? Surely

By NewsPress Now They are so slow This is about 229. If they ever do tear it down and fix it or rebuild it as slow as they’re doing their bridge by the casino and the Cook Rd. bridge, maybe my grandchildren, who are three and eight years old, might get to use it the

By NewsPress Now Take up the electric bike issue I am really begging the city council, the city manager, the city attorney, somebody to take up the issue of electric bikes and other vehicles that are on the Parkway system on the regular sidewalks. I just got completely mowed down by a four-year-old on a

By NewsPress Now One of the perks I guess one of the perks of being the incumbent is you can go to Arlington and take photographs for any reason you want, and nobody will complain. You can also sic the Justice Department on your opponent to drive him out of the office. Not a prop

By NewsPress Now Doesn’t make sense I don’t understand a small local business catches on fire and within just a few short hours the owner and their employees are allowed inside the structure, moving things out and moving things around, possibly destroying evidence on the origin of the fire. It doesn’t make sense. Armed security

By NewsPress Now Be more inclusive I just heard on the news about the schools, that the kids or the parents could win $500 for attendance. I don’t think that’s fair to the other schools that wasn’t included in those four. I think they should open that up to the whole school district and maybe

By NewsPress Now City manager search I see where our mayor and City Council are looking for a new city manager. Well, how much are they going to spend this time of our tax dollars like they did last time, and then they hired from within? How to watch the Chiefs Help! How do I

By NewsPress Now Old-fashioned method A good way to increase the attendance at the St. Joseph School District is to go to the old-fashioned method. You don’t advance the student until he has completed all the work of that particular grade. Simply ridiculous The school board wasting time on banning books is simply ridiculous. There’s

By NewsPress Now She’s a chameleon A chameleon changes its color so it blends in with the background and you can’t see it, and that’s exactly what Harris is doing. She’s trying to change her positions to make everybody believe that she is going to be different than what she truly is. She is a

By NewsPress Now Quick shout out Shout out to the Missouri Western Athletic Department for their help with a problem getting enrolled in a MIAA program. Anyone else notice this? I would like to know if anybody has noticed when they tore the bridge out on Cook Rd. on 29 that they did not replace

By NewsPress Now Never done in a timely manner School is starting tomorrow in St. Joseph and the state of Missouri is just now getting their summer food program for children implemented. What’s going on with our state government that they can’t get things done in a timely manner? Will the roads ever be reopen

By NewsPress Now Demand honesty and integrity Above all else, we must demand that our elected leaders be honest and abide by the laws of the land. A democracy cannot long exist without universal acceptance of these two values. Showing his age Trump is showing his age. He goes on and on and says nothing

By NewsPress Now Speed checks in school area School is near. Could periodic speed checks be run on Beck Rd. between Ashland Ave. and 36th St.? There are no cross streets and that allows drivers to speed well above the 25 mile an hour zone. Also, where does the school zone end? There are no

By NewsPress Now Here we go again Here we go again. The City Council is refusing to listen to the people’s voice. They want to put in another splash pad that doesn’t get used, but they don’t want to put in swimming pools that the public is demanding. They only want to put in a

By NewsPress Now Take care of the trash When can we stop talking about all these politics? Why can’t St. Joe take care of the trash all over the city? Don’t think it’s temporary I drove by Applebee’s and was shocked to see them tearing it down. I remember when they closed Applebee’s. I remember

By NewsPress Now How can anyone say that? How can anyone say that Joe Biden resigned for the good of the country? For over a year, the mainstream media and the Democratic Party told us that Joe was on the top of his game. Well, the debate actually proved that Joe isn’t competent, so they

By NewsPress Now To those complaining For those of you who keep complaining that families keep moving out of St. Joseph and young people won’t stay here to raise a family, you need to look no further than last Tuesday’s election. We are taxed to death in this city. Perfect theme song Remember the old

By NewsPress Now Shout out to the street crew I just want to give a shout out to the street maintenance crew. I’ve had an alley culvert, two, that’s been clogged up for a long time, and rain, super bad rains and rivers on the side of the house there clogged it up pretty good.

By NewsPress Now Don’t have all the facts I love it when people don’t have all the facts. President Trump agreed to debate President Biden on ABC, not Kamala Harris. He also has a lawsuit against George Stephanopoulos and ABC and does not want to be on their network. He has offered to debate her

By NewsPress Now Broken pools I see where the Parks Department is going to shut down the Aquatic Center because they can’t seem to get it fixed right. They spend all this money on the engineers, and nobody knows what to do with it. So now they’re going to tear it out and put a

By NewsPress Now Don’t complain If you didn’t get out and vote and you don’t like the results, don’t complain. Next time, vote. Total chaos I just went to vote in the Missouri primary and there was a gentleman voting that had a Trump button on and the election worker asked him to remove it.

By NewsPress Now He doesn’t have my vote I see that Andrew Bailey tried to intervene in the Supreme Court gag order on Trump. I wouldn’t vote for that guy if he was the only guy running. What about Sugar Lake? Well, I was just wondering, there’s all this talk about Lake Contrary dredging and

By NewsPress Now Give it up Well, I just don’t know what I’m missing on this Lake Contrary revitalization effort and all the time and resources and money some people want to spend on it. Is anyone answering the question, is this going to be great for the future of St. Joe? Is this going

By NewsPress Now Reduce the bills instead If ARPA funds can be used for sewer infrastructure, why not use it to reduce our sky high sewer bills? Has to stop I’m right in line with everyone else calling in about Evergy wanting a rate increase. That is so, so terrible for the folks of St.

By NewsPress Now They have to be stopped I’m calling about this light company. You know, people can’t afford the light bill now the way they’ve got it. I can’t have my air on between 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. because I can’t afford the extra money. And they want another raise? There has got to

By NewsPress Now Raising the rates I was wondering, Evergy wants to raise the energy bills over 13%. St. Joe, what about the people that’s on a fixed income? And then Evergy is telling us when we can and cannot use energy between 4 and 8 at night. Now they want to hike the price

By NewsPress Now Odd requirements Apparently to run for office in Missouri on the Republican ticket, you must own an AR15 or a flame thrower. What’s going on in America? Focus on Congress first I just heard over the radio this morning that the politicians want to put term limits on the Supreme Court. Maybe

By NewsPress Now Follow the money The Chiefs and Royals do need to move, but not to Kansas. Jackson County is a large county but there is too much poverty. Platte County is the wealthiest county in Northwest Missouri. The perfect spot to build new stadiums is southeast of the airport along I-435. Go where

By NewsPress Now Better off If Donald Trump was more like Joe Biden with honesty and integrity and putting country over power, our country would be so much better off. Believing their lies They say a pathological liar actually begins to believe his own lies after he’s told him often enough. I think Joe Biden
