I'm an optimist, so I hope it will work, but I'm glad it involves those of us who are already vaccinated.

Corey Smith

Missourians can get encouraged to get a vaccine.

It remains to be seen how much the program will move Missouri's low vaccination rate of about 40%.

Eighty percent of the people are wise enough to know that they should not risk their health or their life, on a chance to win a prize that they will not win.

Melanie Cusick

Yet not wise enough to know they should not risk their life on the chance that this is all a lie. There's more likelihood they would win a drawing than there is that all those videos of Dead People Trucks outside of hospitals are fake.

Melanie Cusick

Every forum I see discussing this, anti vaxxers are saying "being bribed won't change my mind."

Adam Schrader

Won't work because to many Mirrourians are morons

Melanie Cusick

Not sure what correlation max is making between "moron" and "liberal city." The map of states with low Vax rates and high cases correlate to Red States. Who's the moron- risking certain death to covid, or risking *maybe* unknown outcomes from the vax? I'd say avoid death now but I'm a libtard.

Max

And most of them live in liberal cities.

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.

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

Harry D

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
