While many in the US are getting vaccinated, there are still plenty of people who believe psychopaths currently enjoying the wake of chaos they stir with lies and conspiracy theories. Sadly, these sheeple have little understanding of science; it's indiscernible from magic, or some voodoo curse.

Despite the growing presence of the delta variant, cases and deaths from coronavirus remain far lower than they were at the height of the pandemic.

The Border Crisis, Crime, Inflation, Fuel costs including utilities, and the failing current administration are far more of a concern to me, among other things.

Steve TheBmann

I'm not concerned by this one, the earlier one, or all of those to follow. There are bigger concerns in the world right now and this seems to be more smoke and mirrors.

Adam Schrader

Not worried at all. I'm not a moron. I'm fully vaccinated. Wake up people!!!! Get vaccinated already. Do your part.

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.

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

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

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.
