Some are pushing for the U.S. and European Union to ban imports of oil from Russia to punish the country for its invasion of Ukraine.

WE have our own wells- Let's get them open!!!

Belinda Kitchen

Because why should we help the Russians in any way. After all the caused this war . Biden needs to open up our pipelines here in the US!!!!

Max

It is the common sense answer, and the humanity based answer. Joe won't do it though. He stands to lose to much personal income.

Mae Paulo

We only bring in 3% of our fuel from Russia. The gas price hike is not because of the lies politicians are pushing.

Zaos Gonzolez

Ban taxes and public schools.

So far the U.S. and EU have resisted such a ban, worrying it would drive up consumer prices too much.

We need to force oil prices upwards in order to unite behind the president's plan to ensure we all must purchase $60,000.00 electric vehicles, preferably non-American made,

Max

Joe would demand we buy them from his blood brother, and joint businessman Xi Jinping. That way Joe gets his 10%.

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.

Harry D

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.
