Can't believe anybody would say no.

Max DeYoung

You failed to account for the no accounts.

Will Mason

Police should enforce ALL laws.

Zaos Gonzolez

EXCEPT for unconstitutional laws, naturally. The should not enforce those.

nathan bailey

Yep, the free handouts are OVER!!!!

Zaos Gonzolez

NO. The handouts were indeed, not free. THE USA has been a socialist country for a long time. Socialism is over.

Zaos Gonzolez

Get rid of them all. Considering the USA Census counts non-citizens towards electoral counts, we MUST devoid our country of ALL non-citizens.

Michael Fields

They are LEOs. Illegal “immigrants” are law breakers.

We need taxes, especially in Columbia. Columbia needs even more taxes, than all other cities. We also need a tax on purple hair dye.

Would you support a new tax to build a jail in Boone County?

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

Max

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

This leadership needs to resign.

Max

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.

Max

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.

Jessica Orsini

We've more than enough incarceration in this county, state, and nation, and it's frankly not helping.

Max

The high crime problem is because the courts fail to punish the offenders hard enough to deter crime.

Davon Argo

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.

Madison Haleigh

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

Max

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Harry D

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.
