When the Army needs a new general they don't interview outside the Army. Great choice city council.

That made zero sense, the Army is worldwide they bring someone in from another command. So they get fresh ideas, break complacency and to energize the command. Things must have changed a lot since you was in. I spent 22 years in the Army and never seen it

we have a huge problem with crime and shootings in columbia. i think the new police chief is part of the problem and does not bring any new ideas or expertise to the dept.

When racially disparate stops continue to go up, it's time to shake up leadership as doing more of the same just guarantees more racist practices.

Progressives, which make up the bulk of the city council, have no idea as to how to reduce crime. They will try and "ride out" this murder of the Stephens student and go back to Ignore, Avoid, Delay with their task forces and failed social programs.

The alumni are the ones who donate large sums for things like new stadiums. They are the ones who create this college culture of downtown bars by influencing University leadership and the Alumni Associations. A bunch of UM grads work in state government. Ban them, problem solved.

They are clueless. They will never hold the parents responsible because it will go against their identity politics. Start holding the parents accountable. Or at least get these kids to families who see the as blessings and not as income. Stop protecting horrible parents. Use common sense.

Start by banning taxpayer funded state employees from attending college athletic events at UM. Ban those collegiate license plates that DOR offers for a donation to the University. Ban companies from hiring UM graduates. Start stalking and doxxing state employees who are UM grads. Problem solved.
