If your mask fogs up your glasses, or if you can smell odors through it, then it doesn't work. It should have never existed in the first place.

The pandemic is coming to and end. Also it is illegal to mandate anyone to wear a mask or get a vaccine for that matter, we are not under a dictatorship nor are we in a communist country. Wearing a mask or getting a shot is each person's personal choice and right.

Will Mason

Not "most". End them all.

Niki Goldenstein

The Columbia Board of Education voted this month to extend the district's mask mandate and health officials continue to recommend people wear masks indoors.

This covid-19 is'nt over by a long shot. People are still getting sick vaccinated or not.

Max

Then the vaccination doesn't work. Who would a thunk that?

Wendi Newman

Mask mandates need to stay in place until we have a vaccine for all age groups and everyone who chooses protection actually has it. Then let the spreaders unmask.

Becky

Last time we ended the mask mandate too soon and cases went up....give it a little longer.

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.
