I expected more of a vote for change, as the city is struggling. Most of us are witnessing this decline and are astonished at how blind to it so many are. Buffered or head in the sand, I do not know. The troubles are real and I see no solutions from any of those elected.

The University of Missouri alumni are what’s causing all of this. They take their taxpayer funded state pensions and move to CoMo wanting to become permanent spectators at UM sports events. We need to put a stop to these people. These are the UM engineering school computer nerd graduates FYI

The Looney Left college vote bought this election. Look forward to more late evening crime downtown, more crime everywhere, all over town, at all times. The courts will give record probations, and Columbia will become known as Little Chicago.

The losers couldn't string two sentences together on the debate. Anyone who actually paid attention knew exactly where this was headed. Everyone else is talking through their feelings.

We need to write our state congressmen and demand a law to ban personalized MU license plates for state employees and retirees

Estimates are anecdotal, but have been reported. Its believed that more people work in Columbia than live there.

I did leave. You have no clue how bad Columbia smells until you leave and come back after a month. It smells like sour milk.

Columbia is a lost cause. I'm leaving.

If I gave you name and number of a MoDOT engineer who has publicly proclaimed that he is going to retire and take his taxpayer funded pension and move to CoMo so he can “watch MU sports in retirement” would you help file a series of complaints against this state bureaucrat?

I've been telling everyone for years to leave. I left. The grass is greener and milk and honey flow outside of Columbia.

The stupidity of Columbia shows no bounds. Why Re-elect the person destroying the city and not caring for the city or its people.

MU engineering school graduates are the real problem. They get state jobs doing technical computer stuff that no one understands. And on top of that they are a bunch of socially awkward nerds.

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. Columbia offers despair, and rejects hope.

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!
