I believe with all my heart that Columbia residents should donate their entire paychecks to the City. If the City had ALL of the money, it would solve ALL of the problems.

They want to raise taxes because the “sales taxes are less than expected”. Could this be due to Columbia’s citizens not shopping downtown, etc. as they do not. Want to deal with addicts, vagrants and panhandlers. Lower revenues are due to administrators poor policies and other choices ie..plan fine

Get rid of the unnecessary positions created the past 3 years! The answer is to reduce the size of government, NOT raise taxes! Columbia's sales tax rate is already too high. Continue letting crime and homelessness flourish, raise taxes, and people will leave the city,

Why not cut the city official salaries by a few thousand dollars each to help make up some of the money that the city is looking for? But I doubt a single city official would be willing to do that even though most of them live better than the rest of the city.

The recorder of deeds salary alone is over $96,000!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY INSANE. Most of us can never even imagine that amount of money.

Not until after ALL avenues for budget cuts have been explored Taxes are too high already.

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
I got the alert, then a call from my husband asking where Gotham City, MO was. lol the googleing was real
ReplyYes my wife and I did get it and it was hilarious
ReplyFunny how IlTrumpo tweeted I’m Batman, just having some fun, 2 hours prior to the Batman-related Alert...ijs.
ReplyI was waiting for Batman to come and save the day.
ReplyWe both got the 'emergency' alert and the noise scared us half to death. Then we got the terrible noise again when they said they were cancelling it.
ReplyFrom Gotham City, Missouri. It does not exist. More loss of faith, in our government agencies.
ReplyGotham City is the fictional city that Batman worked out of. Must have been a joke
