Eight months after voters approved it, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the repeal of a law Thursday that had guaranteed paid sick leave to workers and inflationary adjustments to the minimum wage.

The move marked a major victory for the state’s largest business group and a frustrating defeat for workers’ rights advocates, who had spent years — and millions of dollars — building support for the successful ballot measure. The repeal will take effect Aug. 28.

    What a fucking clown. This motherfucker needs to be removed from his god damn office after denying from the people democracy like this.

    These deadbeat politicians are sowing political upheaval, and sooner or later, the people will inflict their rage on the people that have caused their lives to go to shit.

      No, they won’t. They’ll inflict on the people they’re told did this to him because they can’t figure out who’s really responsible.

        Exactly this, most people these days lack any capacity for critical thought and will just straight up take the propaganda at face value.
