Speak Out 12/15/14

Government hours

With the countless numbers of employees that the city of Cape Girardeau has, why can't' one of them stay after 5 o'clock to accept payments for services? These payments are ridiculously inflated because there is no competition and because we are forced to pay the city for them. At least you could make somebody available to accept that payment.

Crime statistic

I wonder if your newspaper has the guts or the integrity to answer these questions. How many people were murdered in the United States? How many white people were killed by blacks? How many black people were murdered by white people? I just wish you could find out what the numbers are and let us know. Let us get the truth out, with all the accusations that have been going on about who is killing who, let us find out.

Customer service

I got assistance in picking out an item at a store yesterday from a clerk. It was great.
