Sure as hell hope so. And with Kansas voting to keep abortion constitutional as a big time red state, there's hope Missouri can elect a democrat.

Jack L

It will be hard for a Democrat to win in MO, but it`s possible. Republicans can`t resist the urge to go to extremes on issues like abortion and gun control, and this turns off a lot of voters

Jennifer M

Biased and don't tell the truth....sounds like fox entertainment

Max DeYoung

Hawley explained this to McCaskill , taking 51.5% of the vote to McCaskill's 45.4%.

She faces an uphill battle in Missouri, which overwhelmingly went for Trump in 2016 and 2020.

The last time democrats denied human rights to a group of people, it ended badly for them. They better stop denying rights to people for the second time.

Jesus doesn't play politics, but if he did he wouldn't be a Dem/Soc/Commy either.

Zaos/Justin What rights are you talking about that were taken away?

Jack L

The last I heard Jesus Christ isn`t a registered Republican. If he is, I must have missed something

Jennifer M

You have a crystal ball or something?

Adam

Like conservatives denying a woman to make her own decisions about her body? Or men and women choosing who they wish to marry?

Max DeYoung

No, unless Trump endorses her! ROTFLOL!

Lida Vitt

Because of the very bad job the Democratic Party has done, and continues to do for the American people.

Mark Cunningham

Democrats need a candidate to unite the voters and that just is not happening anytime soon.

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.
