Teens who admit to exceeding 100 miles per hour on County Route 47 in the town of Champion say the accident that killed four people last weekend has served as a wake up call. Meanwhile, residents that live along that road have been asking that the speed limit be reduced.
Here are some of your emails:
This might wake a few kids up, but teens are famous for their "it can't happen to me" attitude.

Changing the speed limit will not have any effect on a teen that wants to drive fast.
James Lucas
Law enforcement needs to get stepped up.
Nate Lundquist
The vehicle should be put at the schools. That way the other teens will see what happens when you drive fast.

Businesses that sell wine and beer are essentially being taxed twice on their inventory and Assemblywoman Addie Russell says she won't tolerate it.
This is what some of you had to say:
She voted for the floor tax as part of the out-of-balance budget on March 31, and now local business owners are expected to believe she's fighting for them?
Jeremiah Maxon
She should be fighting against these sorts of taxes wherever they are, not just the alcohol tax.

A number of property owners in the town of Hounsfield are angry over their new assessments - some of which have doubled since the last assessments in 2002.
Here's a sampling of your emails:
I don't have waterfront property and my house is in need of many repairs but my assessment more than doubled!
Melody Brenon
As long as the assessments are fair, that is full market value for everyone, no one should complain.

There is no water service, no sewer service or any other service that would justify sucking more blood from us hard working taxpayers.
