Health orders in Columbia and Boone County, which included a mask mandate, expired Wednesday. However, businesses can still require customers to wear masks on their property.

Yes I do, but if there is a similar store nearby that doesn't, I will use the store that doesn't.

Dennis Gravedoni Sr.

Because they show a concern for their customers.

Wendi Newman

I know my responsibilities to my family and community, therefore I'll choose masks and businesses that require them every time.

Masks have been a hot-button issue throughout the pandemic, with one after another viral video showing patrons at businesses arguing over their mask requirements.

I do not like to wear a mask. Simple.

Missy Marlett

I am tired of it! It's time to get back to normal. I have been to many events outside of Boone County with large crowds and no masks required and everyone has been fine.

Max

I agree with you, I will avoid the mask required stores if possible. If not I will wear a mask and stay as little time as I can.

Linda Justice Cordes

If these business wants to keep their customers they better lift the mask mandate I will be shipping only at Store that so NOT require masks

Businesses choosing not to comply with CDC guidance should be punished for not complying with said guidance. Before, businesses were penalized for not complying with the CDC guidance(which actually came from the position statement of the private institution, CSTC) and it should be no different now.

Education for children is based on scheduling?

Latria Mcneal

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

Max

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....

Income tax is unconstitutional when all other taxes are placed on top of it.

Shawn Maupin

Because I believe taxation is theft!

Dennis Ganahl

It's time to position Missouri for growth. We need to attract business and population growth not more stagnation. Taxes need to be affordable based on what people can pay, not what government wants to spend. Government needs to budget just like families.

Slate Rogers

I am in favor of a state income tax cap of 3 percent and eliminating the personal property tax completely.

C Sims

I support doing away with all taxes

Max

The harder that people work, the more taxes they pay. That's wrong. The people that won't work should pay the most taxes.

Debbie A.

It is unconstitutional and theft

Bob Mahacek

We need to streamline government, make it more efficient and have lower taxes to attract more residents as well as businesses to the state.

Mike Roemerman

This is the #1 tax cut that will help Grow Missouri. Eliminating State Income Tax will attract Business, Create Jobs and increase our population. This also exclusively benefits Missourians.

Nancy Hooyman

I'm 70 and it takes too much money away from me.

Pam Ames

The citizens of Missouri are taxed enough, we deserve to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor.Next stop should be phasing out personal property taxes, sales tax, etc, etc…

Bill Douglas

Ban state employees from attending professional and college sports events. Also ban state employees from displaying college/university personalized license plates on their vehicles.

Max

If phasing out taxes, phases out Socialism, then it's a great idea.

We eliminated capital gains tax last year and now our target is income tax? I feel we should get more productive spending and figure out the position of our tax burden before we think about eliminating income tax. It feels like Gov. Kehoe is using this as political points.

Steve Baumann

We all need to be paying our fair share. There are other questionable taxes to be looked into and removed. Along with tax cuts, cuts to the bureaucracy as well.

nathaniel bock

The tax we need to eliminate or change is personal property tax on vehicles, tractors, trailers, etc. There should be no taxes paid on anything an individual has owned longer than ten years.

Will Mason

Sales taxes are paid by the poor. Income taxes favor the poor. Unless a refund of sales taxes is an option, income taxes are cheaper for low income people. And a sales tax refund is probably just as complex as filing income taxes. Either way the government is getting our money.

Hayden Hamlin

Missouri barely pays for WIC, SNAP, Healthcare, and education as is. The Trump Admin passed a bill that will cancel more funding to states for these. Who's going to replace the main source of revenue? The billionaire class? Absolutely not. Our state only offers cheap living; this will raise prices.

Max

Socialism is not the solution.

Max

Maybe some people should put more effort into working for a living?
