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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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

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