Yes and No. My husband and I, with our 3 children hardly use that much. But, my two brother-in-laws that live with us order out constantly, that fills up the trash horribly fast.

If the bags were 55 gallon bags, my vote would have been yes.

NO not at all! An average household would be a family of 4. I think it would of been more fair to say 4 bags? I agree, people who use have more trash should pay more to dispose of it but the limit should be more than2 bags. I have a daycare and 3 kids so I have tons more. But 2 bags? come on!

The question of, “are two bags enough for your household” should be, “what size trash bags are big enough for your household”. To our family of 5, it is one 55 gallon bag a week. If the city would provide the 55 gallon bags instead of these smaller ones, that would be very helpful.

This is a scam by the City of Columbia. There needs to be a class action lawsuit by citizens also; for charging recycling fees for almost a year and not delivering. There has to be some low ball attorneys out there looking to make a buck or two!!!!

I have a 7 person household and have no idea how I am going to afford to buy the extra bags needed every week. I am very upset about this decision.

I believe with all my heart that Columbia residents should donate their entire paychecks to the City. If the City had ALL of the money, it would solve ALL of the problems.

They want to raise taxes because the “sales taxes are less than expected”. Could this be due to Columbia’s citizens not shopping downtown, etc. as they do not. Want to deal with addicts, vagrants and panhandlers. Lower revenues are due to administrators poor policies and other choices ie..plan fine

Get rid of the unnecessary positions created the past 3 years! The answer is to reduce the size of government, NOT raise taxes! Columbia's sales tax rate is already too high. Continue letting crime and homelessness flourish, raise taxes, and people will leave the city,

Why not cut the city official salaries by a few thousand dollars each to help make up some of the money that the city is looking for? But I doubt a single city official would be willing to do that even though most of them live better than the rest of the city.

The recorder of deeds salary alone is over $96,000!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY INSANE. Most of us can never even imagine that amount of money.

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
