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.
Only thing that can be said, FUCK REPUBLICANS.
There is no such thing as the Republican Party any more. The current party in power does not follow the basic tenets of the Republican Party - lower taxes, smaller government, family values, personal liberty, etc. - and are not Republican. The Republican Party has been fully replaced by the MAGA Party.
Democrats should make it official that they no longer recognize the Republican Party, and only refer to their opposition as the MAGA Party. Make the Republicans understand that “The Party of Lincoln” ended on their watch.
Republicans haven’t been the party of Lincoln since the Southern Stratgey.
