Civic art need not be eternal, especially if it is meant to tell a story, as this art is. Time to support new artists and reconsider the impact of the visuals we choose for our public spaces.

We need more pictures of gays, and gay things. Just to make sure that everyone knows they’re are gays.

We must control history, to be able to control the future.

We need to be reminded of the past and the progress made from those events. Proposals of this ilk simply appease those with personal agendas who feel they are more important than history itself. They feel they are more important than than the rest of us when in reality we are aware they are not.

History can be ugly, but removing the reality of it would be much worse! Denying history would translate to a repeat of it.

We should not be destroying history. It is important to see just how far we have come in so many ways. Those murals help demonstrate that.

You cannot erase history....those that do are doomed to repeat it.

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.
