I've been a fan of the Cardinals for over 65 years and they are doing a great job this season. I'm enjoying seeing Pujols back before he retires and every game with the new players and of course, Yadi and Waino. I hope they can win the World Series. What a way for Pujols and Yadi to retire!!

The cardinals are in a groove right now which is needed at this time of the baseball season in order to push for a competitive run at the playoffs and with the new addictions to the team they fixed one of their weakest area. Pitching is what is needed and they have it now along with a the best defe

Those two starting pitchers they picked up really gave them a boost at just the right time.

When it counts their pitchers & hitters always step up. Plus they've got Goldsmidt & Pujols.😀

They will because it`s the weakest division in major league baseball.

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.

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