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.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
