Don't trust it

Lisa E Gore

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!

Debra Riffle

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

Max DeYoung

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.

Parm Brant Price

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.

Max DeYoung

News to be aware of, keep your children away from this demographic: Of the 528 confirmed cases of monkeypox reviewed, 95% are believed to have transmitted during sex between men, according to a new paper in the New England Journal of Medicine. July 22, 2022, 4:02 PM CDT

We need taxes, especially in Columbia. Columbia needs even more taxes, than all other cities. We also need a tax on purple hair dye.

Would you support a new tax to build a jail in Boone County?

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.
