SPEAKOUT (471-6636)

Best at nothing

Congress needs to keep doing what Congress does best - nothing. We are all safer that way.

Rock our roads

I would like to complain about the county roads in New Madrid County. Me and my wife are retired, on a fixed income and don't have a four-wheel drive vehicle. We have to get down some of these roads and they are rough. I've lived here my whole life and haven't seen them put any gravel on these roads in a long time. They have gone at least a decade or two without putting gravel on some of them. These young people don't know how to work on the roads or the politicians haven't allotted enough money to fix them. I sure wish somebody would help us out. On certain days, I'm not even sure we could get out and go to the doctor or get medicine.

Just a little bitty thing

I'd like to speakout. I'm a 70-year-old. I'm sick and can't walk. Recently I was kicked out of government housing because I let my poor little old grandson in. They let things go on there that's really bad. I know a convicted felon that lives there now. He continues to smoke and get drunk. They sell pills. I've turned it in and turned it in and they don't do nothing about it. What do I do? Do I get a hold of Jay Nixon about this? What can I do? This shouldn't be going on. I know a lot of things that they are letting go on over there, but they kick me out over a little bitty thing, me and my mentally-challenged daughter.

If you know of fraud and don't call, you're a part of the problem.
