Traffic cameras originated from small minds. That being said, I think the worst part is the city is giving policing authority to a private company that is not in anyway linked to the citizens of this town. Maybe it is time to expand the minds of the small and help them find new jobs.
"Your comment must be approved by the site admins before it will appear publicly." The Gazette has decided to silence me with four of these in a row. I am sorry I cannot conform to using the language and vocabulary standard as established by the Gazette. My intellect is not sufficiently impeded to operate at that level.
"Your comment must be approved by the site admins before it will appear publicly." The comment I tried to make was brief and used proper language and grammar! I've had it. You're use of intensedebate systems quashes debate and poorly reflects upon your already struggling paper. I'd gladly give up all this online hoopla for a well written paper with journalist that are willing to peel back the onion.
You so wrong! They think they are better than Congress! The connection between local politician and the pandering influences is more direct.
What is your correlation (the direct connection) between having county offices located in recovering neighborhoods and the recovering neighborhoods seeing better supported recovery? Also, I think many people would disagree with your assessment of the parking lot. Yes, it would be decent sized if Linn County was only a population of 40,000.
What is being ignored is that citizens have expressed how they want their county experience to be. Even if Linn County does not choose Westdale, they should make sure that the experience of visiting the county office buildings should include those positive things people are seeing at Westdale.
Wow! Are you sure it safe to report this story in Cedar Rapids? People might get ideas; but, then again, maybe the presence of cool headed, law-abiding citizens will inform the others.
On the roads, we all need to watch out for each other. Car accidents of any kind are a bummer.
I want to be pro local music all the way, but Gayla makes me sleepy. For someone influenced by great guitarists like John Renbourn and Bert Jansch, there exists a great disconnect. But, at least, the wall paper music will be louder with that new amp.
"Your comment must be approved by the site admins before it will appear publicly." I run into it again. What's up Gazette and intensedebate? I did not use swear words or even troll someone in the comments section. Again, it must be I forgot to translate my thoughts into Gazette speak. Here it goes. "Frustrated citizens may shoot back to prove they own the streets and not the thugs. Let's do something before the lead starts flying."
