It’s become very unsafe; Columbia use to be on the most desirable places to live in the country… based partly on how safe it was; now it’s become unsafe!

It scares me to go there. I only go to Columbia, when it can not be avoided. I'm old and can't defend myself like a young man. I served my country for eleven years when I was younger. I would have done 20 but I chose a job that paid 3 times what my E-6 military pay was. Thanks to President Carter

Yet you have no problem with allowing taxpayer-funded state employees who are graduates of UM, collecting taxpayer funded pensions so they can “spend their retirement at UM ball games”?! You need to join our movement to start filing complaints against these kinds of people

Carter drove many good soldiers away, I'm glad that I was one of them.

It isn't 'gun violence'. I've got a dozen guns that aren't hurting anybody. They're not going to steal my car, drive to Columbia and shoot up the town. Columbia has gone to hell- crimes perpetrated by people already prohibited from possessing guns. No way I'd send a kid to MU.

Do you approve of state employees being able to retire, draw a lifetime pension of thousands of dollars each month so they can spend their retirement “going to MU sports” like one local MoDOT engineer in my town has publicly stated? I can give name & title if anyone wants to file a complaint.

Columbia has ALWAYS been communist. Why would government funded poverty and crime be a surprise?

So what are you going to do about it? Just sit there and condone it instead of taking action against state employees who publicly go on record saying they are going to take their taxpayer funded pensions and move there to “watch MU sports for retirement”? Want some names/numbers and file complaints?

The leadership of this town is what scares me. Or lack of it .

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

Both of Steve's comments are true and accurate.

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.
