QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should the Missouri attorney general get involved in downtown Columbia crime issues?

Published September 23, 2026 4:30 AM

University of Missouri President Mun Choi has been applying pressure on city leaders on downtown crime issues for weeks. During that pressure campaign, one bar in particular has drawn a direct callout -- Reign.

Now the state's top law enforcement official is applying pressure of her own.

Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said Tuesday that her office sent a letter to Reign warning its management about crime that's happened outside the bar.

Do you support Hanaway getting involved? Let us know by voting in the poll.
