Speakout 12/7

Call 471-6636

I'd like to speak out to the people who live in the trailers on Highway 62. Your dog has been dead for a week right across the street from the house. It is not the Highway Department's job to pick that dog up. You need to at least get it out of the road. Thank you.

How about a president/vice-presidential ticket to unify the nation? Mike Jensen and Jesse Jackson.

That would be an interesting ticket. One candidate helps people, is honest and carries a good degree of respect. And the other is a minister.

This is in reference to the SpeakOut entitled Sleeping on the job about the noise ordinance not being enforced on the west end of town. It's bad enough when you pull up to a stoplight and somebody's stereo is thumping so loud that you're not sure it's not some kind of natural disaster. But when somebody right outside your door leaves their stereo turned up really loud and gets out of their car to go into someone's house and you call the police and they still won't do anything when the car is sitting right there for them, something's not right. The signs for noise ordinance are pasted all over town and yet they're not enforced. And I agree that whenever I have called to make a complaint to DPS, the dispatchers say that they will try to get someone out. I appreciate the person who called and made this complaint. Maybe if enough of us call and complain about this, something might be done about it.

Chris Moore is more biased against Sikeston Bulldogs opponents than the Roman emperors were against the Christians thrown to the lions.

I normally support the city of Sikeston in everything they do. Now I got to tell you after reading this article today about this leaf program, I've always said it's a mistake and a misuse of funds. I don't know what we paid for that machine, but it's never done what it's supposed to do. Honey, you can only do so much. When you rake them out there, they'll set for a week, or two or a month and by the time that machine comes by, they're blown all over everywhere. So put me down against it.

We have Sikeston, Miner and Morehouse so why can't there be a three part division of Iraq?
