Because I like to go in and still down and enjoy my food.

Andrew Baker

Because my work truck doesn't fit in a drive thru and a guy's gotta eat.

Steve TheBmann

Only those with concerns should be avoiding restaurants IMO. It should have been that way from day one.

Will Mason

Your fear mongering has failed.

Patricia Boggs

Why not? Simply put when your sick stay home.

Angela Embree

Because covid numbers are down and it is time to let the economy and business owners recover from the economic loss due to the pandemic.

Nathan Butler

I've recovered from COVID, and therefore am a very low risk for both contraction and transmission.

Many people are still wary of eating inside restaurants, where people have to be unmasked to eat and are seated in a common area.

No, double No, and triple Hell No!!!!!! You have all kinds of people moving around, kids running around. People snotting, sneezing, coughing, farting, dirty hands from wiping hand across their nose and mouth and won't go and wash their hands. Folks digging in their behinds and go to get a plate.

Julie Ann Bird

I am high risk being immunocompromised so I don't feel comfortable dinning in yet. If cases of covid-19 continue to decrease, then I would love to eat in a restaurant again.

Andy Miller

COVID.

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

Max

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

This leadership needs to resign.

Max

You are using the word leadership carelessly.

Harry D

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

Max

The comment that I made indicating a total average cost, does not account for inflationary changes, which will probably more than double my $3920 estimate.

Davon Argo

The need for a new jail isn’t new. County leaders have known for years it needed attention. Maybe the sheriff should’ve prioritized a jail before a multi-million dollar training facility. His budget priorities is his attempt at railroading the city’s public safety staffing and infrastructure needs.

Madison Haleigh

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

Max

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Harry D

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

Harry D

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
