Yes, the employees are better or worse off. How do you answer an either/or question with yes or no? Edit much ABC17? If working conditions at MU are so bad, employees should find another job, there are lots out there.

Losing 10 days for something that should have already been included in benefits is nuts. Only helps those planning to have a family. Also the short term disability is only 60% of pay which for most is not enough. Cutting benefits without pay increases for 2 years. Not a good look.

Kevin Williams

They are also capping the pay out to 10 days total of your PTO. What about folks that have been working here for many years and have a lot of banked vacation. Doesn't seem right. There will be a lot of people retiring or leaving before this goes into effect

PTO saves mu money does no employees.

Gwen Renee

Trading 10 paid days off for benefits that many won't ever use is in no way an improvement.

Homes in primarily R-1 residential areas are losing homes to short term rentals. This loses homes to families that could be long term residents. This drives

Forcing American citizens to leave the CCP HQ (Columbia, MO) isn't a bad thing. Missouri will be better off, if everyone leaves Columbia, MO.

It's better to have the marketplace dictate the cost of a home (supply & demand) rather than limiting investors and home buyers (the money) options, no?

Condos near me being rented to temp health care workers. Makes it feel like a motel.

Turning a single-family residence into a commercial rental building needs to be regulated so it does not impact the surrounding neighbors. Party houses or large groups of young people with no adult supervision is bad for a neighborhood and should be prohibited.

A lack of regulation will lead to shortages in housing inventory. Honestly these short-term rentals should probably be regulated into extinction. Make housing affordable again! - Rob Rasmussen

Regulation = No freedom

Max DeYoung

Everything the government touches gets ruined.

Tim Spaniard

Regulation leads to shortages (then a rise in prices), quality of homes and neighborhoods goes down (more crime, etc.) Regulation is almost always a bad idea! The only regulation that should be put forth should be how much the government can interfere with a free society!

Mothers need to be with their children.

It's a step towards Socialism. I don't think it would be available equally, therefore not a good idea.
