THere was an article in the Sunday N/T detailing $582,775.00, a 2.5% across the board departmental spending cut. Yet JC has $100,000 to donate to Columbia? JC also has an airport . Please read the full article for details. Might as well be known as South Columbia.

I am a fiscal conservative, but i must say, it is so worth it to get airlines to offer flights out of here. Once you fly out of Columbia you will never want to go to St. Louis again.
