## Resource

Columbia’s voters face a pivotal decision on August fourth: approve a one percent sales tax hike to fund a major public safety overhaul. The $38 million annual boost would hire 92 new first responders—42 firefighters and 50 police officers—and build or upgrade stations and equipment. City officials are holding ward-by-ward town halls to explain the plan, putting the future of emergency response squarely in the hands of the people.
