What is sad is people like Lois who think that if I brush my teeth it protects her teeth. Nope. Your vaccine should help you, these are being shown to have more side effects than others, are under EUA, and against Nuremberg code and our Constitution Federal and Missouri.

Liberals believe what suits themselves, regardless of science or facts. If they repeat a lie often enough, it becomes true, in their little world.

Lisa White

Because we have rights as citizens. Our health should be our decision, not Joe Biden.

To be vaccinated protects others not just yourself

Many employees support such a vaccine mandate. The Faculty Council approved a resolution urging such a mandate at the Columbia campus.

Not one single death has been recorded from Omicron, yet it will give everyone who gets it antibodies. Omicron is the beginning of the end, to the Covid-19 Pandemic, and the end to the communist fear Agenda.

lois tyler

Everyone needs to be vaccinated so we can control the spread and the mutation of this virus. Why is it that we willingly are vaccinated for the flu,measles,mumps, ect. but resist a free life saving vaccine? Think of the money and lives saved if we can control the outbreak of more mutations

Niki Goldenstein

It should not be mandated, it should be a choice. We need more information on the vaccine.

Carolyn Youngberg

They have a responsibility to their students, faculty, administrators and university workers to keep them safe. Bowing to political pressure does nothing for the safety and health of these people.

Jack L

I guess students don`t need to be protected from COVID. .... OH WAIT!.....a high percentage of people who are contracting the latest strain of the virus are young people

Max

This is Big Pharma's Current Cash Cow. Protection against Omicron coronavirus variant improves with three vaccine doses, Pfizer says. Pfizer says, Buy my Snake Oil and you will live forever. ROTFLOL

Lisha Lammers

Mask mandates work!

Max

No they don't. Florida has the lowest infection rate in the Nation, and they have used less masking and all other precautions, than all other states.

Adam Schrader

Let's make it even more unsafe to be in Columbia. Good idea.....sigh

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?
