Missouri's Republican lawmakers want to memorialize Rush Limbaugh, a conservative talk show host who defined the genre and died earlier this year, with a day in his honor.

Rush was a fine American who supported Law and Order, and respected the Rights of all honorable people. He deserves this Honor. He was not the person the liberals say he was. He was better than most of those calling him names.

Debra Riffle

It would be impossible to get a nation, divided as ours is, to agree on the size of a postage stamp, much less on who deserves to have a day of recognition. Rush Limbaugh was the voice for many who felt shut out of main stream media. He deserves to be recognized in this way.

Cindy Evans

Rush is a native Missourian who had a major impact on our state and nation. Whether you agreed with him or not, he impacted our nation and culture, and should be recognized for that achievement.

Opponents say Limbaugh's status as a native son is not a point of pride for Missouri. They say his divisive rhetoric has contributed to a contentious political atmosphere.

For what reason? What a clown 🤡 I have to be nice 😊

It doesn't surprise me. I live in Missouri where ignorance and stupidity is a Olympic sport. Many of us our humiliated by Limbaugh et al. If he gets a " day" from our legislature, so too should a piece of dog feces.

Denzel TW

What makes him sooo special he deserves a day

Sarah Perry

I do not feel he represents Missouri well.

Ed South

How despicable, the man was stuck in the capitol at midnight to have a statue in his name placed there. How much in taxes has he paid to Missouri. Guessing 0.

Cecil Schick

He's no one special

Chad W

Exactly the type of person I DONT want my kids to be.

Robert Cone

This man was nothing more than a hate monger and made his living promoting such. He should have never had his bust in our capital let alone a rush limbaugh day.

Max

He would never get a fair evaluation in the liberal confines of Columbia.

Kim h

I agree with what everyone is saying about him. Why people would even consider this person is outrageous. Not a role model to be honored

Max

You obviously don't agree with those that like Rush.

Wendi Newman

Why would anyone want to honor such a vile man?

DENNIS WRIGHT

He doesn't deserve it!! Anyone who lies like that doesn't deserve to be honored! Are we really going to honor people like this? Another step backwards!!

Mary Ann Pulley

This man spewed division, racism, misogynistic, false information, and ungodly behaviors!

Max

Like Maxine Waters?

That's how blue cities work, tax, tax, tax, and tax some more.

Zaos Gonzolez

Tax to the MAX. Tax till you drop, and it still don't stop!

Zaos Gonzolez

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.

This is what Columbia just voted in. Great job!!!!

Debbie Neate

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

Susanna Johnson Kettlewell

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,

Allan German

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.

Zaos Gonzolez

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

Will Mason

Not until after ALL avenues for budget cuts have been explored Taxes are too high already.

Zaos Gonzolez

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