No this is something that the Democrats will ride right into the next election in 2022 and use against the Republicans. It will be a drawn out affair just like the election collusion investigation that cost millions and took forever.

Just more Grandstanding by the democrats. I wish the dems would try this hard to find Hillary's 35,000 missing emails.

It is a witch hunt and a waste of money. Stop the witch hunt.

waste of valuable time and tax payer dollars. Security planning and execution lapse ultimately led to a simple situation getting way out of control. Could have been easily avoided.

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.
