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.

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.

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
