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.

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.
If taking the vaccine doesn’t free you up to be more mobile and return to a more normal lifestyle, why would anyone on the decision fence take it?

ReplyI think in order to prevent the spread of this disease we need to have some control of people traveling from country to country who have not been vaccinated
