Yes, so kids can concentrate on there school work instead of texting or watching sports. Here is a solution for the Columbia Missouri school district they can buy cellphone security bags from this company. https://www.overyondr.com/phone-free-schools

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!

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.

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.

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 .

These improvements are long overdue. People need to be patient and use alternative routes. I am stunned at how fast the construction is going. Impressive!

People need to be writing their state congressmen and complaining about these UM engineering computer graduates who take their laptops and hang out in left-wing coffee shops doing who knows what. That’s the real problem.

The people who come up with these “design ideas” are the same UM engineering school graduates who make obscene amount of money timing stoplights; people who are just a bunch of socially-awkward computer nerds who deserve to be thrown in mental wards instead of being allowed to go around freely.

I refuse to give credit to UM Engineering school engineers who work on this stuff.
