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.
Kehoe, who also signed a package of tax breaks Thursday, described the paid sick leave law as an onerous mandate that imposed burdensome record-keeping.
I feel like this should spark revolution. God forbid the working man have something nice. This is proof that you can make a change, but without support/approval of the elites they just pull some bullshit like this. I hope Missouri replaces every single person in their legislature, senate, and capitol, and they should feel lucky that loosing their job is all that happens to them.
Nope. There’s no chance of change while such States are so heavily gerrymandered. Plus, the bulk of the voters in these states will vote red 'til they’re dead because voting for a dem would somehow be worse.
Sadly, they passed an anti-gerrymandering ballot measure and then repealed it (by ballot measure) before it every took effect.
They won’t.
That state somehow votes for good measures but always also votes Republicans in every time.
This has happened so many times and they keep doing it. It’s honestly crazy to me.
