Health experts continue to encourage vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans to wear masks and take other precautions as the delta variant surge continues.

By still hiding at home and away from everyone.

Mask, staying out of crowds, hand sanitizer. I'm fully vaccinated but I'm elderly & have Parkinson's. Better safe than sorry.

Many Americans are not wearing masks or taking other precautions, despite the elevated numbers of cases and deaths seen this summer.

Only when required. I do avoid businesses that require them or proof of a negative test/vaccine. Far to close to what the Germans did prior to WWII

Belinda Kitchen

Nope , cause the mask don't do their job . And basically the Democrats are trying to be like Hitler and telling us how to live , what to do . What about land of the free and home of the brave in out national anthem? Don't seem like that's what we are doing now .

Debra Riffle

life is to be lived, not feared. We need to get on with it.

Niki Goldenstein

Never have changed anything in our routine. If I'm gonna get it I'm gonna get it just like anything else. I refuse to live in fear!!! I choose to trust in God, he will call me home when it is my time!!!

Zaos Gonzolez

Uhhh, never have, never will. EVEN THE DEMOCRAT SJW FEMINISTS I WORK WITH HAVE “QUIT COVID.” This trash isn’t real. It’s be political from the start. EFF CHINA, and EFF the government. Get back to your lives people. Stop this nonsense.

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.
