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

Fat Guy Outdoors

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.

It would be nice to have Snow like we did when I was a kid back in the 80' we had heavy snows and maybe it would help against the sickness we all are having. It's been a long time since we had a heavy snow or bad winter but it would do the ground some good!!!

Ann Hamlin

Snow is pretty.

Max DeYoung

A good, heavy snow will cut down on drive by shootings. Columbia needs that.

The report should go where Hilary's emails are.

Max DeYoung

The Ethics report was a failed frame job, and it proves his innocence.

Max DeYoung

It also exposes a lot of dishonest Representatives. Most of the House wants to keep this secret.

Robert Walter

His behavior and character matters.
