Brooke Kruppiak: So many happy people with Bible verses as their profile picture.
Don Ward: I’m OK with some city tax dollars being spent on the homeless situation if the goal and result is less homelessness. I’ve only seen it increase with the millions spent so far.
Phil Kimble: Let’s see, the more they spent, the worse it got. Pretzel logic indicates we should spend more.
Karl Rinne: That’s because those tax cuts that the Republicans keep giving to the rich people are finally gonna start trickling down.

Justin Grasseschi: I don’t know much about the guy. But I got a flyer last year on my door with a photo of him with a dog. And now he’s being charged with abusing a dog. Yikes.
