Slumlord heaven Christmas could come early for the worst breed of real estate speculator if some lawmakers in Missouri's House of Representatives have their way. [more] |
Bombardier: Canadian fleece The Missouri Legislature seems poised to hand over $40 million a year in tax credits for eight years to Bombardier Inc., if the Montreal aircraft manufacturer agrees to build a new jetliner plant at Kansas City International Airport. [more] |

Salsa, cerveza y historia Today is Cinco de Mayo, which loosely translated means, "The holiday when grocery stores teem with a bounty of discounted beer, tortilla chips and salsa. And when happy hours at restaurants and bars lavish you with cheap drinks under a colorful Mexican theme." [more] |
Class Actions: Absurd and sublime This month, the Missouri Supreme Court gave a swift boot to one of those irritating class-action lawsuits that drive business executives up the wall. The court's prudent decision shows there's little need for a harsher crackdown on class actions now under consideration in the Missouri Legislature. [more] |
Feed a kid, starve a terrorist A couple of weeks ago, Dick Durbin got a breakfast invitation from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "This doesn't happen all that often," the Democratic senator from Illinois said dryly. [more] |

GUEST COMMENTARY |
STONEWALLING: Bungling bureaucrats hide behind confidentiality law If there is a silver lining, however faint, to the heartbreaking story of Nancy Miller and Brian Walters, it is that it has exposed once again the way bureaucrats use confidentiality to conceal their incompetence. [more] |
Re-entry programs reduce crime and save money They help ex-offenders find a place in society and stay out of prison. [more] |
Is a governor liable for smearing someone's reputation? Those following the lawsuit filed by Scott Eckersley, former deputy counsel to Gov. Matt Blunt, are about to see how baffling and unfair public tort law is. [more] |
Learning the lessons of flood damage Recent Midwestern and Southern floods have given rise to media reports and discussion about communities caught off guard because of unusually early spring rains and late snowfalls. What has been missing from this collective conversation is attention to lessons from past events that, more broadly heeded, might have prevented much human and economic trauma. [more] |
Proposed bill would hurt abused children even more The Missouri Legislature is considering a bill, SB 1194, which would allow the death penalty for individuals who commit acts of forcible rape or sodomy of children under the age of 12. On the surface, this seems to be a logical response to the most heinous of acts perpetrated upon children, but further analysis will bring us to a very different conclusion. [more] |

| THE TRIBUNE'S VIEW Hillary should quit By HENRY J. WATERS III, Publisher, Columbia Daily Tribune After the Democratic primary elections in Indiana and North Carolina, it has become clear to almost everyone outside her campaign Hillary Clinton’s bid for the nomination is ending, but the candidate soldiers on, saying she will end up in the White House. |
OPEN COLUMN Family grateful for respect players, spectators show Editor, the Tribune: At 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26, we buried my father-in-law, Robert W. Sanders, at Memorial Cemetery. We had a graveside service, and there was a lacrosse game going on across the street. So during the service, there was background noise of cheering and such, which, as my sister-in-law said, "lightened things up." |

He continues to thrive in the positive environment at RBE. We very much appreciate each and every staff member. Everyone takes such care of all the small details, and that makes a huge difference in student performance. |
OPEN COLUMN Military spending running United States into ground Editor, the Tribune: According to information from the National Priorities Project www.nationalpriorities.org the median-income family in Missouri paid $1,689 in federal income tax in 2007. Here is how that money was spent: |
OPEN COLUMN Administration makes our schools top-heavy Editor, the Tribune: In regard to the Columbia Board of Education wondering why the school bond issue was voted down: Well, I think there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians with all the high-priced principals and all their assistants and the secretaries and all their assistants. In the 100 or so jobs that were to be cut out, not one of these upper-class jobs was to be done away with. |
OPEN COLUMN Small hospital plan would ruin natural green spaces Editor, the Tribune: The Columbia City Council and the others involved in the plans to build a small hospital located on Old 63 south of Westlake Hardware need to think twice before building on this site. It is so quaint and tranquil, so why destroy it? It’s a natural green space. |

She might think, or at least would argue, that when she was 12, her Yankees really won the 1960 World Series, by standards of "fairness," because they trounced the Pirates in runs scored, 55-27, over seven games, so there. |

In our view: Call the summit There are no easy answers to the problems facing Joplin’s homeless community. We believe the members of the Joplin City Council who voted to allow the City of Refuge to operate a shelter for an additional 90 days in its current location are to be commended. |
Voices: Still ashamed In reading the Globe (May 4), I am surprised at the difference of opinions concerning the City of Refuge Ministries. |
Voices: Home of the homeless It is critical for the citizens of Joplin to understand why there is opposition to the City of Refuge’s proposed move to the First Baptist Church building. I fully support helping the homeless. |
Voices: No-brainer I read the story about the Joplin Humane Society finding a new location on North Main on the lot next to the old Dent and Ding Appliance location. |
Voices: My community? I can’t believe the controversy surrounding the City of Refuge. Why is this such an issue for so many people that they are actually signing a petition? |

Voices: Working together The title of the article (Globe, April 30) was business as usual concerning our community when there is a supposed problem: “Opponents speak out.” My reason for speaking out is that there was no “news” about those much less fortunate than ourselves until someone complained about zoning. |
Voices: The ‘11th commandment’ Upon reading the letters from Rita Crowell, it seems that she is filled with hatred toward homosexuals and their lifestyle. I have no idea what could have happened during her life that made her this way. Make no mistake. I, too, believe that homosexuality is a grave sin as stated in the Bible. But, so is hatred toward another human (Leviticus 19:17-18). |
In our view: Champions Earning a championship is hard. Winning it again is even harder. Winning it six of the past seven years is incredibly impressive. That’s what the Academic Bowl team at Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School has done. The team competed Friday at the Missouri State High School Activities Association state championship in Columbia and won the first-place trophy in Class 1. |
Voices: Killing I never agree 100 percent with anything Ron Hutchison writes. But on April 26, I did indeed. I read his “Life trumps everything” article. Of course it does because all life is sacred. Since Roe vs. Wade (1973), America has killed, by abortion, more Homo sapiens than Adolf Hitler put to death in the ’30s and ’40s. This country can not go scot-free for that and also being responsible for 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilian deaths since 2003. |
Other voices: Rape and death penalty For more than 30 years since reinstating the death penalty the U.S. Supreme Court has found ways to limit capital punishment, and now the most heinous crime, raping a child, is before the court. A ruling should come down soon. Patrick Kennedy, 43, is a Louisiana death-row inmate convicted of raping his 8-year-old stepdaughter in 1998 in an assault so brutal that the girl required surgery. |
In our view: Community triumphs over disaster John Thomas, 76, and his wife, Marjorie, 75, emerged from their cellar only to find that their home in Lawrence County was gone. Everything they had worked for — gone. |
Voices: Astonishing That a new location for the City of Refuge shelter for the homeless would be an issue is astonishing. |
Voices: It’s just about life, right? I’d like to thank the state House for passing the Abortion Restriction Bill. It’s nice to know that my legislators are ready to rush to my aid when my measly, pea-sized lady brain becomes saturated with estrogen and unladylike ideas, rendering me incapable of making sound decisions. |
Voices: Two Saudis Two Saudis casually walk across the Mexican border right in front of Homeland Security, the CIA, the FBI and half a dozen other “alphabet” agencies. |
