Never have. Why fight the morons when I can get the same crap while sitting in my recliner?

Letitia DenHartog

Too cold. Not good enough deals to get me out.

Jack L

Never have and never will. I don`t like fighting the crowds

Max

I'm saving that money for Utility bills and Gasoline. Thanks to Joe Brandon. I read where he had a nice Thanksgiving Dinner, while 160,000 military men and women are having trouble feeding their families. Go figure!

Jack, read the news, not CNN. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- As many as 160,000 active-duty U.S. military servicemen have trouble feeding their families, the Associate Press has reported, citing an estimate by Feeding America.Nov 17, 2021

Why are 160,000 military people having trouble feeding their families?

Max

Adam, you wouldn't have the stones to say that to those military folks, not even to the ladies.

Adam Schrader

And those same 160,000 people would be in the same boat if Trump was in office. Wait, he thinks he is, so is his fault???

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

Max

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

This leadership needs to resign.

Max

You are using the word leadership carelessly.

Harry D

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

Max

The comment that I made indicating a total average cost, does not account for inflationary changes, which will probably more than double my $3920 estimate.

Jessica Orsini

We've more than enough incarceration in this county, state, and nation, and it's frankly not helping.

Max

The high crime problem is because the courts fail to punish the offenders hard enough to deter crime.

Davon Argo

The need for a new jail isn’t new. County leaders have known for years it needed attention. Maybe the sheriff should’ve prioritized a jail before a multi-million dollar training facility. His budget priorities is his attempt at railroading the city’s public safety staffing and infrastructure needs.

Madison Haleigh

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

Max

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Harry D

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.
