We need a Road Tax on electric cars.

We have a MODOT traffic engineer in my hometown here who is an absolute rude, arrogant know-it-all piece of garbage that think timing stoplights is some kind of rocket science and doesn't care about the values of the local community. And he is a graduate of UM Columbia which is a disgraced school.

MODOT has NEVER shown me that they are a good stewards of the money they get. The always come back wanting more and the roads still get worse. I see so much of the work being done on mowing along the roads INSTEAD OF fixing THE ROADS. MODOT IS A MONEY PIT. USELESS.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with their "Traffic engineers" in my hometown. We have one I have complained to several times who is an absolute know-it-all jerk. He even harasses people who disagree with him. Bunches of us around here are trying to get his college degree and license revoked.

The last attempt to raise the gas tax, less than half was going to the roads, the rest was going to go to the Highway Patrol. What we need is Truth in Advertising, and responsible spending.

It is probably the most cost effective method of waste collection. And when it comes to spending taxpayer money, how can anyone argue with a proven system that costs significantly less in the long run. The only negatives to them are people who can't understand them.

Progressives prefer trash bags, litter, and drag shows.

Yes, it just makes sense. It's 2023 and modern day trash collection techniques have changed. I hate self checkout, but that's the direction things are going nowadays. Get with the times or be lost in the past!!

City transferred extra cost to citizens. Instead of just dropping bags at the curb, now we all have double the work to bring roll cart back to our houses, open garage door, pull SUV out to get roll cart in, pull SUV back in, close garage. Huge environmental cost in electricity and gas - how sad.

Come on, it's a roll cart. The exercise will be good for you. It's arguably easier to roll a cart twice than to carry heavy bags once.

Eyesores that will make our neighborhoods look trashy and cost jobs for minority men.

No one wants that gross and dangerous job, slinging bags. There is no need to make this a racist or social issue, it's picking up the trash. At taxpayer expense. Doing so in a cost effective manner. Doh!

The citizens of Columbia voted this down before. I would think that the city would put it to a vote of the people again instead of deciding for us.

That election was rigged with heavily biased wording. A mistake the voters should never allow to happen again. That bordered on election fraud in the eyes of some. An attempt at voter manipulation, for sure.

The citizens of Columbia voted against roll carts, yet the city manages to disregard them.

That was a very poorly worded election, seemingly purposely done. And now that people realize they were fooled, they will actually read the ballots closer.

Space is limited and they will be seen all over Columbia in front yards. Ugly, and hard to roll.

The majority of homeowners will bring them in. Deal with exceptions when they come up IMO.

It will be hard to roll if there is a lot of snow on the ground...

We had them while living in Flagstaff, Arizona. More snow there than here, and it was no big deal, you adapt.
