Caleb Rowden is a Rino. I regret voting for him. The 7:1 matches the census but if you’re getting some push back from whoever paid for your election bid, maybe you should look at who they are and their motives before you run. MO got over $6,800,000 in CTCL $, it is influencing a lot of big counties.

I have the same respect for Caleb Rowden, as I do for Cori Bush. That should explain itself.

I'm going to have to disagree here, in a 7-1 map either St. Louis or Kansas city loses a democratic seat. A person or representative in rural Missouri is not going to understand or even care about those in the urban, same could be said if you expanded the democrat seats into rural areas

William Stewart

Following very closely since according to Parson, we Missourians are too stupid to vote to have an independent redistricting. The representatives are biased and should not be writing their own district's end of the story.

Mainly, because the news has me burned out, with all of the whining, and virtue signaling.

Wanda Gebhardt

The politicians are going to do whatever they want regardless of what the public wants so why bother to watch it?

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.

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.

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

Harry D

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
