After the millions who are dying or suffering severe blood clots, nerve damage, resurge of autoimmune diseases, cancers, including one of my best friends, never!! The CDC admits the vaxes are a clinical trial for M-pox, no way to sue if you’re damaged, if you sign off and take the M-Pox due to that!

Why would I? I am not at risk. I don't trust the WHO, big pharma, or anything Fauci says.

No. It spreads only by physical contact, so it`s not so contageous

Only five deaths in the whole world, and I don't participate in the activities, that causes it to spread. There probably are many people who should be concerned, but my friends and myself don't associate with that crowd.

I don't currently feel that the vaccine is available for the general public & the children should be vaccinated first before the adults who choose to expose themselves.

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.
