Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe has signed a repeal of a law guaranteeing paid sick leave for workers and inflationary adjustments to the minimum wage.

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.

    And for Missourians who dont know, we call trashy rural dipshits hoosiers because the original trashy rural dipshits in MO came from Indiana.

    Sorry again Indiana. Although modern Indiana is much better now after offloading your trashy dipshits on us back in the day

      My parents live in Indiana, and I mostly grew up in either Indiana or California. I’m not so sure the state is better off even after offloading some of the racist hillbillies from around those parts.
