Holly heck, taxes would go up and jobs would go to part time. Getting no where fast.

It would cause many businesses to close and many people would lose their jobs. Very few states could handle this financially.

Harlan Lamb

For a cripples economy and government the increase all at once will cause problems and hardships beyond what the country will survive.

It would be nice to have Snow like we did when I was a kid back in the 80' we had heavy snows and maybe it would help against the sickness we all are having. It's been a long time since we had a heavy snow or bad winter but it would do the ground some good!!!

Ann Hamlin

Snow is pretty.

Max DeYoung

A good, heavy snow will cut down on drive by shootings. Columbia needs that.

The report should go where Hilary's emails are.

Max DeYoung

The Ethics report was a failed frame job, and it proves his innocence.

Max DeYoung

It also exposes a lot of dishonest Representatives. Most of the House wants to keep this secret.

Robert Walter

His behavior and character matters.
