My grandson, his wife and 4 and 2 year olds have it now and are very sick. I think precautions should be taken seriously again.

Biden is currently "Contagious", but he doesn't wear a mask. I wonder why?

lois tyler

Too many unvaccinated people, if we are ever going to get rid of this virus everyone that can be,should be vaccinated. this virus will continue to mutate and infect. We have been told by medical experts, the only way to eradicate the virus is for everyone to be vaccinated,

Max DeYoung

How many times has Biden been vaccinated? Why does he have Covid? Is it because it does not work?

I can't think of any 'fact' that has been told to us by the so called experts, that hasn't mutated more frequently than the virus itself. People are just wanting to get on with their lives. We know the risks.

Max DeYoung

Left-wing fear campaign.

Lisa E Gore

Because this means it’s endemic!!!!!!! The more you test the more will be positive under an Endemic status! Hence the hype is falsely based on natural happenings. Death rate from Covid is 0.02% no reason to get freaked out, never has been. Stop the fear mongering!

What is COVID?

Christopher Watson

Old news now, we either survive it or we don't!

Max DeYoung

No but, “I thought growing older would take longer.” My bucket list: "Keep breathing.”

That's how blue cities work, tax, tax, tax, and tax some more.

Zaos Gonzolez

Tax to the MAX. Tax till you drop, and it still don't stop!

Zaos Gonzolez

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.

This is what Columbia just voted in. Great job!!!!

Debbie Neate

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

Susanna Johnson Kettlewell

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,

Allan German

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.

Zaos Gonzolez

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

Will Mason

Not until after ALL avenues for budget cuts have been explored Taxes are too high already.

Zaos Gonzolez

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