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.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.
