COLUMBIA — The Columbia Chamber of Commerce announced its

“The 2010 school bond issue would provide students adequate
facilities in which to learn and to provide the necessary tools for them to be
successful,” said Don Laird, president of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber is endorsing the home rule city charter amendments because they are tools to increase effectiveness
and improve city government, according to the release.
Both items are slated to appear on the April 6 ballot.
