Losing 10 days for something that should have already been included in benefits is nuts. Only helps those planning to have a family. Also the short term disability is only 60% of pay which for most is not enough. Cutting benefits without pay increases for 2 years. Not a good look.

Kevin Williams

They are also capping the pay out to 10 days total of your PTO. What about folks that have been working here for many years and have a lot of banked vacation. Doesn't seem right. There will be a lot of people retiring or leaving before this goes into effect

Ray Smith

PTO saves mu money does no employees.

Gwen Renee

Trading 10 paid days off for benefits that many won't ever use is in no way an improvement.

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

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!!!

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.
