There are not enough mandatory City of Columbia trash bags for yard waste. The city needs to come up with a solution.

There are better ways to take care of the yard than to throw clippings away.

Other counties and cities allow their residents to shoot off fireworks, cities such as Columbia and Jefferson City should too.

Because everyone should be able to celebrate. And if the city says no well they still do it anyways and cops dont enforce anything especially if they know who is shooting them off . But everyone should have them shot off by midnight to let people sleep cause they may have to work the next day .

Most of the problems we have today are caused by poor decision choices by our leaders.

No, there are other avenues to enjoy fireworks and I don't need to shoot them off to enjoy the holiday weekend.

People do not use common sense around fire.

It's unclear how much of the city water system has been affected by the discolored water.

No colored water in Russellville. Just have the city charging people for water they haven't even used yet. My last bill showed my gallons used at 68000 total. Yet my meter shows 140 gallons less. My neighbor was 200 less and another neighbor's meter showed 160 gallons less.

Adam Schrader

To continue about Russellville, our average water/sewer bill is $80-$90/month. Double all other towns in mid mo? Why?

Max

It's called paying it forward, and common core math. lol
