What, if anything, can university officials do to reduce student cheating?
[3] Prioritizing projects With $450 million in capital projects looming over the next 10 years and not nearly enough money, Columbia officials asked residents last week what projects the city should begin first. The list includes some $212 million worth of new projects scheduled for the next two fiscal years and $146 million worth of projects currently underway. The Capital Improvements Plan is the city’s five-year blueprint for rebuilding or replacing aging infrastructure. The money funds a variety of things including railroads, sewer lines, stormwater projects, streets, transit and public safety improvements. Sales taxes and bond issues help fund the projects. The request for citizen input on the projects comes early this year. Usually the city asks residents for their thoughts during the summer or fall, when officials hold three public hearings regarding the city’s budget. City leaders urged residents to begin reviewing the list of potential projects, which can be found at gocolumbi
