Speakout
(Opinion ~ 06/25/21)
I would like to speak out about the noise the cars are going by resident’s houses that have loud music. I thought at one time Sikeston had a law against loud music. Apparently it is getting worse.

My house even shakes sometimes because of the loud music. Can somebody stop this?
