I think if nothing else just move it 30 minutes and leave it alone

Yes, it is a no brainer, no chance that it will pass the US House of Representatives, let alone the Senate. So that Briben could Veto it.

I LOVE daylight savings time, and my husband relies on that time in the winter after work to do the farm chores (feeding etc)

I'm the odd one here. in winter months, i like that its darker sooner thats when pretty lights are on the buildings. we enjoy driving around looking at them. Also, we typically aren't outside at night in the winter due to it being so cold.I like it lighter for longer in the warmer months. Swim, ball

Daylight savings is a silly occurrence that we should not be doing. We seem to use and adjust anything we need to, to fit our means. It's just wrong.

sunrise at 8:30 would mean more school bus accidents. People who think this is a good idea would probably vote for a five day weekend as well.

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.

You are using the word leadership carelessly.

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.
