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.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
