I'm already writing my state senator. Not only can't authorities see into your home, but those blinds are dangerous. Have you ever had one fall on your head? Well, neither have I nor anyone I know, but if we can save at least one person, then it will be worth it. LOL!

But, the issue I have with the Marion PD is their randomness of law enforcement. One day they will let things go, but not the next. At least the Cedar Rapids PD are consistent in their enforcement of the laws. One can never say that about the Marion PD.

You obviously have no experience with the Marion police so maybe it should be you that needs to not jump to conclusions about others. I'm not condoning what she did. She got what she deserved. But, one would think that the limited resources of the Marion police would be better served monitoring the speed limits along Hwys 13 and 151 where people seem to think the posted 50mph is about 15 mph too slow.

I think the Marion police have reached unprecedented heights with this. Of course, the idiotic actions of the driver overshadows this.

Not because he's a BP station, but because that blasted car wash keeps bending my front license plate.

Now get over here and drink this kool-aid.

But, we need to take its bricks and build another unusual monument to CR so ot-of-towners can drive by it, scratch their heads trying to figure out what it is, then lock their doors and hurry out of town.

I think the 1:1 will work well - it gives us union workers for those highly skilled jobs where there is significant value added and lets them keep costs low by using non-union labor for those non-value added jobs.

I agree that cheapest isn't always the best. But, I believe we need to hold the supervisors accountable for their spending so they don't always go for the most expensive route.

Nice job, Housing Fellowship. I think it's time to have the IRS examine your books so you can enjoy all the love you gave the Council.

But, maybe someone should remind the vendors they are not there to make money. What about the Farmer's Markets?

Who said she was a good teacher? I didn't see that in the article.

I always have issues with men telling women how to take care of themselves, like we really know how to take care of ourselves. I also find it odd that abortion protesters never bring up the horrible things that were done before abortion became legal. They seem to always have a case of memory loss when those things are brought up.

That is one rough stretch of highway.
