Anyone should be able to make their own decision to wear a mask and not have it forced on someone.

I am surprised that they made an intelligent decision. Maybe they could talk to the school board.

Masks do not work

If they had passed it, most people would have ignored it anyway. They are tired of being punished because of those who won't get vaccinated and those who won't are just idiots who don't care about others

Steve TheBmann

Science stated that the commonly used masks do not protect against a virus. Now, suddenly, they do? Too many contradictions. COVID seems to be a smoke screen, hiding what is happening to our country. I am far more concerned with the increase in divisive activities and rampant crime.

With coronavirus cases rising, people should be wearing masks again to protect themselves and others.

Anyone with a basic understanding of communicable disease would know.

Until this virus is under control, with Boone County a hotspot, not requiring masks will keep it spreading. There was progress being made with guidelines in place. Everyone was getting back to life. This is what responsible people want. So many lost lives, so sad, and could have been avoided.

Masks work when everyone wears one

Glenda Schuster Moum

How stupid to say that masks don't work.... Why does your doctor wear one during surgery?

That's how blue cities work, tax, tax, tax, and tax some more.

Zaos Gonzolez

Tax to the MAX. Tax till you drop, and it still don't stop!

Zaos Gonzolez

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.

This is what Columbia just voted in. Great job!!!!

Debbie Neate

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

Susanna Johnson Kettlewell

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,

Allan German

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.

Zaos Gonzolez

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

Will Mason

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

Zaos Gonzolez

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
