6:49Now PlayingMissouri Republicans led by Governor Mike Kehoe signs new law to essentially abandon residents of entire state by denying the voter-approved by 58% ballot measures for minimum wage increases and paid sick leave requirements just months after the vote in sneaky circumvention that benefits the corporations over the people. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report. Leave a comment with your thoughts below!

Missouri Governor Signs Bill Rolling Back VoterApproved Minimum Wage and Sick Leave
"When Missouri voters were asked last year whether they wanted to increase the minimum wage and require employers to provide paid sick leave, 58 percent of them said yes.
Not long after that vote, the Republicans who control the state government mobilized to unwind those changes. On Thursday, Gov. Mike Kehoe, a Republican, signed into law a bill that limited the voter-approved minimum wage increase and scrapped the paid sick leave requirement altogether.
The new law in Missouri reflects the growing impatience of Republican leaders with left-leaning groups that use state ballot questions to circumvent conservative legislatures and bring policy proposals directly to voters. In Missouri, recent ballot questions have restored abortion rights, expanded Medicaid and legalized marijuana, all causes that Democrats generally support, even as Republicans have won statewide elections in landslides."
