The government isn’t responsible for anyone. Each individual is response for themselves. The government can eat TRASH.

They need to quit enabling homelessness. It has just become another welfare program.

Max

Per Columbia City Council meeting to discuss a report that outlines efforts to end homelessness, Feb 06, 2022 on KMIZ news.

Max

The City has increased funding for homeless from $62,200 in 2016 to $302,346 in 2022, by reducing funding to children, youth, and family services, and mental health services. Way to go Columbia.

Larry Sabulsky

I think the community needs to step up and help the homeless. When are all of you going to realize the Government is not going to fix your/our problems. They have created the majority of the problems we face today.

Advocates for the homeless say the city could open the shelter more often and enhance services.

It would be nice to have Snow like we did when I was a kid back in the 80' we had heavy snows and maybe it would help against the sickness we all are having. It's been a long time since we had a heavy snow or bad winter but it would do the ground some good!!!

Atabak Sadeghi

I would like a ton of snow!

Ann Hamlin

Snow is pretty.

Max DeYoung

A good, heavy snow will cut down on drive by shootings. Columbia needs that.

The report should go where Hilary's emails are.

Max DeYoung

The Ethics report was a failed frame job, and it proves his innocence.

Max DeYoung

It also exposes a lot of dishonest Representatives. Most of the House wants to keep this secret.

Robert Walter

His behavior and character matters.
