Speak Out: 6/8/18

Social squandering

Don't lie to yourself telling yourself you're too busy when you have time to Tweet, post on Facebook, pin on Pinterest, and share on Instagram. You're not too busy, but rather mis-prioritizing.

NFL players

In light of the recent NFL decision on the National Anthem and related outrage by its players (employees), I'm trying to see what these upset players (employees) are doing to protest and work for change in the off season and while the cameras aren't following them.

Cape Splash

Thanks to all the teenagers and adults working with the Parks Department. I know we wouldn't be able to go to Cape Splash without summer workers who care about the customers and make sure the experience is always a good one. Thanks to the coaches and the league organizers, too. You are appreciated.

Pardon bipartisan?

If Republican President Trump commutes the sentence of one time Democrat governor of Illinois, would that be considered a good step in the direction of bipartisanship?

Transportation tax

So, the state legislature is putting a transportation tax on the November ballot. Since when did Republicans support tax increases? Could it be that they were hoping no one realized what they were doing while Eric Greitens was creating a smoke screen for their actions. Funny thing is I think the tax increase is smart and good for the state. Just why didn't they do it when Nixon was governor?

    Social squandering: A person always has time to do what they really want to do.

    NFL players: The NFL employees who get paid mega dollars will do anything to keep their name in the public in order to get their 5 minutes of fame....it's human nature.

    Cape Splash: Volunteers are paying back to those who volunteered in their early lives.

    Pardon bipartisan: Justice is blind and non-political.

    Transportation tax: It's up to the voters if they want a increase in the State's gas tax....I for one is against it. There is enough waste to get rid of in the State to make up the difference.

    And that's the way it should be according to Schaefer's World....Friday June 8, 2018.
