Saying inflation is getting lower is like saying that government is getting less corrupt. LOL

No matter what MSM says, I will use my open eyes, and common sense to determine items of this nature. Inflation will not get better until we have a different leader for our country. The last four years have been horrible for America, and our allies.

Fat Guy! Kamala says that's not inflation, It's Bidenomics. Now, do you feel the Joy? I haven't felt their Joy for the last four years, Pain, I have felt their Pain!

The damage is done. Even if it went to zero, prices are still 20-30% higher since 2021.

Just look at the prices at the store. That should be enough to tell you that nothing has changed and won't till Harris and Biden gets out of there . Trump will lower everything. Trump has done more for the Hurricane victims then Biden and Harris has.

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.

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