Likely won't ever happen. It removes the ability for socialists to criminalize the 'evil rich' and wage class warfare by screaming "MAKE THEM PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!!" when we're all paying the same. Libs will surely jump in and gaslight something about hating firemen..oops..fire-people.

I don't support taxes at all. I am tired of supporting welfare moms.

Bill Douglas

The public is sick and tired of supporting people like you:UM engineering, school grads, who get jobs and state government working in office cubicles with a bunch of calculators and computers. It needs to be illegal for people like you to support these colleges and universities make it a felony.

Zaos Gonzolez

I don't support any taxes. Programs like United States Agency for International Development and the Federal Reserve are the problem for all Americans.

Bill Douglas

I support putting people like you in jail for having degrees from that university of yours.

Vivian Masters

Too many ways taxes could harm farmers. Farmers need expensive equipment but could be taxed for owning it. America needs food!

Bob King

Flat tax rates cause necessary raises in sales, use and other taxes. More burden on the poor.

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

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.

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.
