That's how blue cities work, tax, tax, tax, and tax some more.

Zaos Gonzolez

Tax to the MAX. Tax till you drop, and it still don't stop!

I believe with all my heart that Columbia residents should donate their entire paychecks to the City. If the City had ALL of the money, it would solve ALL of the problems.

This is what Columbia just voted in. Great job!!!!

Debbie Neate

They want to raise taxes because the “sales taxes are less than expected”. Could this be due to Columbia’s citizens not shopping downtown, etc. as they do not. Want to deal with addicts, vagrants and panhandlers. Lower revenues are due to administrators poor policies and other choices ie..plan fine

Susanna Johnson Kettlewell

Get rid of the unnecessary positions created the past 3 years! The answer is to reduce the size of government, NOT raise taxes! Columbia's sales tax rate is already too high. Continue letting crime and homelessness flourish, raise taxes, and people will leave the city,

Allan German

Why not cut the city official salaries by a few thousand dollars each to help make up some of the money that the city is looking for? But I doubt a single city official would be willing to do that even though most of them live better than the rest of the city.

Zaos Gonzolez

The recorder of deeds salary alone is over $96,000!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY INSANE. Most of us can never even imagine that amount of money.

Will Mason

Not until after ALL avenues for budget cuts have been explored Taxes are too high already.

Zaos Gonzolez

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
