Opinion Line (Feb. 9)

The president acts so concerned about the Zika virus, and has asked Congress for lots of money to fight it. Has he secured our border so it doesn’t walk in? No, and he never will.

In order to help eliminate the deadly threat of the Zika virus, Bill O’Reilly needs to publish another book, this one titled “Killing Mosquitoes.”

Since when does the Wichita City Council have the authority to approve a new $33 million library? When do the taxpayers get to vote on their approval or disapproval?

Let’s use a little bit of foresight and wait until a final decision is made on the old library building before building a new one that we do not need. Then we will not be stuck with an old, empty building.

The City Council should purchase a fleet of bicycles for its personal use. This would ensure at least someone is using the new bicycle lanes.

Did you see the story of a City Council member driving a car for Uber getting good perspectives (Feb. 8 Eagle)? Shouldn’t we slide more elected officials behind that wheel? Call it “Undercover Boss” time.

Kansas has already reached “full employment” thanks to Gov. Sam Brownback’s policies. How does Kansas set the country on fire with even more job creation since agriculture, oil and gas are all down and aircraft is still down?

Kansas businesses, even with their hefty cut in income taxes, keep raising the prices of their goods and services. Why is that?

WSU needs football like Kansas needs a third term for Brownback. It would make some people very happy, but would be a financial disaster.

Another Super Hype in the books. I’ve seen more exciting high school football games.

Cam Newton acted like a jerk. I am glad Carolina lost.

I guess the Carolina Superman needs to go back to the drawing board, and perhaps look inwardly as well.

Maybe if they start now they can find some halftime entertainment for next year’s Super Bowl.

We went to the Forum Theatre at the Wichita Scottish Rite Center and saw the funniest play we’ve ever seen, “Lend Me a Tenor.” It’s playing through Saturday, and we encourage you to go for a fun time. We also made reservations for dinner there – good food.
