ON THE STREET

The Southeast Missourian asked, "How do you feel about the proposed five-year, half-cent sales tax for road and bridge improvements in Cape Girardeau?"

Kathy Kornegay, Grassy

"I would support it. I think the roads around here need a lot of improvement."

Bryan Mattingly, Cape Girardeau

"The roads don't seem really bad to me at the moment. I'd say I'd be for it."

Florence Leggett, Cape Girardeau

"I'm all for it, because there are many streets in Cape that need improving, especially some around our house."

Thelma Niswonger, Cape Girardeau

"I'm all for it if that's what they'll use it for."

Myra McElmurry, Scott City

"Well, I guess we've got to have the money somehow. But it seems like they just keep putting a half cent and 1 cent until pretty soon we won't have anything left to spend."
