The Boone County Commission has expressed a desire for a sales tax on online purchases and the Columbia City Council will vote soon on whether to put such a tax on the ballot.

Yes, I try to purchase everything locally, but when I have to arm chair shop, it would still benefit our community if it was implemented.

If local mom and pop stores have to charge a sales tax, then internet stores should have to charge them too. Or else eliminate sales taxes on all stores. We need a level playing field for our retailers.

I would prefer to support our local businesses, than Amazon and E-bay. I think Jeff Bezos is a Socialist, and every time you help him, you hurt yourself and your country. Jeff Bezos's net worth is 201.7 billion USD.

Housing isn't affordable because of the Federal Reserve.

In Moberly they are building houses but they are setting the rent 1000$ to 1200$ or more plus utilities. Last time I checked People can't afford that and people who are on a set budget needs affordable housing that they can live in not 500 to 800 a month when your are barely making it .
