We still live in a free country. Because even the vaccinated are still getting and spreading the newest Covid virus.

It is a fact that vaccines are not 100% effective, they only lessen the symptoms in some. It is one thing to require a vaccine that is 100% effective, but requiring a vaccine that is not close to that AND given the fact they may find another for the recent virus, it does not warrant a mandate.

what other medical procedure are mandate supporters think employers should be allowed to mandate? How about employer mandated exercise? Would that be ok too?

No job owner or business has a conservatorship over me choosing what medical therapy or gene therapy that would force me to do what they say, no right to my private health info, nor my health history. That is unconstitutional. My proof: The US Constitution.

Hey Justin, my rights are not privileges guaranteed under the constitution...perhaps you should read it. My “privileges” are your rights too! We need to all stand together against tyranny!

Mandates are bad for missourians. And vaccines don't work anyway. I am a second class citizen if businesses allowed to discriminates against me

workplaces are short-staffed enough. why give them an ultimatum to have to fire someone, reduce their workforce more and possibly have to pay unemployment benefits?

No, a private business has the right to run their business how they see fit. If a employee has a problem with it, they can go find another job. If the business suffers for it, that is the cost they have to pay.

Private businesses should have the choice of what they want to do. It's rheue business not ours If someone disagrees with that they can shop somewhere else.

You can not violate, other people's Constitutional rights, because you don't agree with them. Any American would know this.

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

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.

The comment that I made indicating a total average cost, does not account for inflationary changes, which will probably more than double my $3920 estimate.

We've more than enough incarceration in this county, state, and nation, and it's frankly not helping.

The high crime problem is because the courts fail to punish the offenders hard enough to deter crime.

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.

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

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.
