## Resource

Columbia’s city council is proposing a half-percent sales tax hike to fund public safety—hiring more cops and firefighters, upgrading gear, and boosting street presence, lighting, and community policing. Residents are being invited to voice their input at upcoming council meetings as the city seeks collaborative solutions to rising crime and safety concerns. This tax is just one step in a broader effort to make Columbia safer for everyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
