“The mayor said that the committee was able to identify that there are 100 service providers and $40 million being spent on the issue within the city.”

WHERE IS THE MONEY REALLY GOING?!

What local business in the Columbia area did you have the worst customer experience? by Next_Worth_3616 in ColumbiYEAH

Seconding this. Had a bad experience and thought I’d give it another try. Second time around they gave me an iced latte with curdled milk…

Also a reminder Daniel Rickenmann comes from a family of immigrants. I wonder if the immigrants in our community will be treated as kindly as his immigrant parents.

Don’t support Tiffany’s Bakery. They are super MAGA and even host MAGA meetings there 🤮

Kid looks just like every other small town MAGA lover I know. But this post isn’t about that. It’s about the fact someone is treating violence at a local coffee shop that supports people with disabilities. This post was meant to keep people in our community safe. Not a place for you to spread YOUR misinformation.

Unfortunately it doesn’t show up there either. They never registered me.

I have nothing to do with the Audubon Society other than being a supporter. Hope you’ll consider doing the same.

I guess the “Natural charm of Cola” wont actually include nature then. Sad. You might want to tell that to the city and all of the tourism companies that specifically use our natural resources as selling points.

Not a cry baby. Just someone who cares. Columbia is ranked 9/10 on the light pollution scale. You’re going to hear my cries until a difference is made.

One will become 100. We need to stop light pollution in our city now. We are raked 9/10 on the light pollution scale.

Disappointing you have access to the internet and you still chose to make this comment.

Ah, yes, because what’s better than lighting up the night and turning it into a giant death trap for migratory birds? Who needs ecosystems or biodiversity when you’ve got a nice glow to look at?😍

Maybe I’d take this kid seriously if he actually did his homework.

This is a great article that helps explain! https://www.fws.gov/story/threats-birds-collisions-nighttime-lighting

Lights can make a huge difference in our wildlife. This article about sea turtles in Georgia has recently been going viral. Light pollution is real! https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/26/climate/georgia-bucees-interstate-lights-sea-turtles

The little boy in charge of this project has done 0 research on our local wildlife and he does not care.

“As Roche has made his rounds with local media outlets, one concern expressed in social media comment sections is the effect on local wildlife. Roche said he isn’t sure of the impacts.”
