Will you spend more or less this year on Christmas gifts compared to 2022?

The Cape Girardeau City Council recently denied a request to provide $10,000 from the city's casino fund to assist in sheltering homeless individuals at the Salvation Army and in local hotels during freezing weather. Do you think the city government should provide assistance for sheltering the homeless during freezing weather?

    Alexander Hamilton wants us all to eat turkey
    I watch a YouTube channel fairly regularly called Early American. It features a young lady named Justine, who lives in Ste.
