Across this country there have been laws passed in cities and legislatures outlawing aggressive panhandling and introducing urban camping laws. We shouldn't be throwing people in jail because they have no home or are poor. We should help them get off the streets not making it worse for them.

As North Reading grows in population, so has the traffic. We need traffic lights and pedestrian walkways in three main intersections: 1. North Street at Haverhill 2. Central Street at Park Street 3. Chestnut Street at Haverhill Please sign the petition to improve our traffic infrastructure and keep everyone safe on the road.

I am a student who lives in Axis apartments who does not have a car and it's a hassle to find a consistent ride to school. Not only for me but also many residents of The Axis Apartments. With the cold weather on the horizon it discourages students from attending class because we have to walk in such environments. I feel the residents of Axis have been neglected by both Madison County Transit and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

We in the Northern Heights Subdivision believe that we are entitled to have our own individual mailboxes re-located to in front of each individual home like most communities in the area. We as a subdivision have contacted the Waynesville Post Office on numerous occasions about mail being placed in the wrong boxes and the theft of our mail. London Lane along with Lambert Lane have all mailboxes clustered together while other streets have their mailboxes located in front of their residences. We demand that the United States Postal Service in Waynesville MO allow us, the tax-paying homeowners, the right to to our own mailboxes in front of our homes, to ensure the correct delivery and reduction of theft.

We wish to oppose the 200-400 block of N Czech Hall road from being considered for rezoning so an apartment complex can be built there. This will be a 3 floor complex that will have direct view into back yards of residents' homes. The proposed building does not fit in with the neighborhood or the community, which could negatively impact property values, and questions need to be answered and new plans presented prior to any rezoning.

My husband and I receive Social Security benefits and we paid into the Social Security program each week of our working lives. For years congress has been borrowing this money to fund other projects. Debtors should pay what they owe. We do.

Severe vehicle accidents and collisions with pedestrians will result in fatalities. The intersection is poorly lit and is especially dangerous after dark.

We the undersigned community members formally request that the City of Thousand Oaks DENY Heavenly Fathers Foundation purchase and special use permit the city requires to convert the building at 320 Via Las Brisas to a church from its current use as a Fitness Facility. The local community including Dos Vientos would like to have an opportunity to explore other options that will KEEP THE GYM AND POOL FACILITY in place to maintain and improve the health of ALL COMMUNITY RESIDENTS as originally intended. The Miller Brothers, the City of Thousand Oaks, and private donors have substantially contributed tax dollars and tax free contributions for the benefit of this community Facility. LOSING THIS FACILITY WILL ALSO AFFECT PROPERTY VALUES.

I have a sister who is in the hospital in San German and is traumatized from Aguadilla and family in Ponce with no electricity. People are dying.

President Donald Trump, Majority Leader Paul Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are failing to act to help the people of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands survive and rebuild from the devastation of the fossil-fueled Hurricane Maria. The 3.5 million American citizens of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have no representation in Congress -- they need all of us to demand action from our elected leaders. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has introduced legislation to mobilize all the resources and assets needed to restore electricity, provide clean water and food, a safe haven and access to medical care. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Ed Markey, and Richard Blumenthal are original co-sponsors. The plan includes a total waiver of the cost of matching funds to receive federal assistance, rejects privatization efforts, and promotes a new resilient, decentralized and renewable energy-based grid. Congress needs to act — every member of the House and Senate should co-sponsor and pass this critical legislation to help our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Add your name!

Path points need to go.

Recently I was denied Snap assistance for my family of 5. My husband grosses $2000.00 biweekly, but his net income is only $800.00 biweekly. When DHS saw his Gross, we were instantly laughed at, then told we were denied. How can you use an amount of money that we don't even see to determine eligibility? It needs to be considered to change to using net income!
