Columbia news, views & reviews 
I’m very disappointed that Leo Lutz is running unopposed. Is it too late to push a write-in candidate? Does Columbia not have one other person that can step up? Time for the Lutz era to end. We need a new face representing this town.
So do we have two parties here in town? Neither party has a full ballot. So many people complain, so few want to help. This was everyone’s chance.
