If they did what they think it will sure, but it won't. It will cost money and prevent nothing. Growing government is bad mmmkay.

We need a better judicial system that keeps violent people behind bars. We need a society that demands personal responsibility: values all work, respects marriage, condemns out-of-wedlock births, greatly reduce the welfare state. Dems won't go for this since it reduces their control. FJB

Will not change anything, a waste of taxpayer money. How long have we tried to prevent spousal abuse with counseling, arrests, etc and it does not stop.

We need less government. It's not working, it's not the answer. Defund the bureaucracy, not the police

The state needs a program to prevent UM engineering school techno-nerd graduates from getting jobs synchronizing stoplights and designing things like roundabouts etc And keep their flag burning anti-American “new innovative road designs” out of Republican counties in Missouri. LOCK THEM UP!!

Columbia has a Police Department. If the prosecutor and the courts supported them, crime would decrease a great deal.

Libs really want 30 hours of sick time for 1 hour work called Univ Basic Income. This is a great example of an organic Missouri effort to change our Constitution, you can tell by the homemade signs. NOT, another dark money effort to buy an amendment when they fail in legislature. End this BS. FJB

Paid leave is good for families and employers--it helps attract and retain the best talent, reducing employee turnover costs, and helps alleviate financial strain on families. It's a win-win.

Paid sick leave is needed for all workers. How can you pay medical bills if you aren't getting paid while you are sick or recovering from surgery?

No one should have to choose between taking care of themselves or a child and missing a pay check. This is an obvious yes.

Small Missouri employers have enough problems just meeting their payrolls. More government intrusion is not the answer.

You think prices are high now. Wait until they raise them some more if this passes.

If you don't want to be an employee, START A BUSINESS. If you can't start a business, LEAVE BOONE COUNTY. It's quite simple.

Businesses will leave not only Boone County but Missouri if this passes. Businesses will also try extra hard to automate and replace people with AI robots to keep their costs down. The problem with marxist socialists is that they ultimately run out of other people's money.

Went from 28 pills a day to 6. My Army doctor and VA doctor both told me to research and maybe try it. My first time I was 49. 52 now, no night terrors, panic attacks or sleep walking. I was very suicidal and this plant has changed all that.
