Guilty until proven innocent. No right to face your accuser (a camera). Unconstitutional. Period. If you, or anyone that happens to be driving your car, are convicted (unconstitutionally) by a CAMERA then YOU are (supposedly) mailed a ticket. If you do not receive and/or respond (to the ticket that was supposedly mailed) with payment in full then your state income tax refund will be withheld and deducted TWICE the original amount of the ticket!! That's right. NO QUESTIONS ASKED! NOTHING! GUILTY! THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! How do we let this stand? Let's do something about it.

I would like the council to reconsider the firework policy before next year. I don't understand why it had to be so long this year. I hand sew and with the extended days and times, there were loud bangs all the time. I don't usually have a problem but it was so long and unpredictable. I also don't understand the Sunday late hours. Citizens didn't go by the dates and were shooting them off as soon as they were legal to sell in town which extended the time. I asked on the facebook page and tagged the city with a question which went unanswered. How were early fireworks being handled? In my neighborhood someone would light one off every night after dark but that was it. So, I could not tell where so I could not report it. I am not looking forward to the rest of this week and weekend.

Question: When is the rest of Muscatine going to receive the city issued garbage containers? #1 it would decrease the obviously poor attitudes of garbage collection workers. Evidently being a garbage collector doesn't help a person realize they have a job that is of adequate pay when there are many people who would appreciate having a job like that or even a job period. It would help people that spend quite a bit of money on a trash can that can hold up to being thrown in the street to be run over by traffic when emptied by pick up workers and smashed as violently as possible by the pick up workers. My hope is utilizing mechanical advantage would make a more serene working environment for these poor individuals that get every known and unknown holiday off with pay.. #2 would justify the ever increasing cost of our trash pick up At least they have provided containers for every one unlike our City garbage program. Asking:: when we are going to get the Garbage cans.

This building has had the same wedding date on there for the past 3 years! Also would like to see something done with the building on corner of Mulberry by the mexican restaurant Olimita and close to the downtown HyVee. It has been wrapped up in Caution tags for I don't know how long. Also I have had a complaint about 323 west 2nd street house for a long time with no help from the city. I have called and complained in August also I went to city hall and complained in October. There is trash in the front yard that are not in the correct trash containers. Also a bucket of water that has been sitting there for months. Also trash in the backyard, grills not working, a board that they were throwing knives at. I am tired of the filth by my house. I have two young children. I don't want rats, mice, raccoons, the zika virus in our neighborhood.

It would be nice to see some lane lines painted on 5th street between Cedar st. and Iowa ave. Everytiime I turn off Iowa onto 5th st. Someone is pulled clear out into the intersection and so far away from the curb I end up barley having room between them and the parked cars. This probably won't help because ppl don't know how to drive but it's worth the try.

Is there a way trash can be compacted like old cars? Also is there a way trash can be burned and the trash filtered through filters that eliminate bad gases?
