The Constitution should be the bedrock of our democracy, not a 50.000001% out-of-state dark money, pay petition gathers and buy an election with false advertising gimmick. It should take way more signatures to get on the ballot and 75% of the vote during a presidential election for a change. FJB

Bill Clugston

It's too easy under current law.

Max DeYoung

It should be made more difficult to amend, this will preserve it's strength.

Taxes are theft. You have been robbed.

It's a power grab. Anyone can see that.

Harry D

Grabbing power away from the out-of-state dark money liberals who can't get their simps elected to the legislature and giving power back to the people where it belongs.

Lida Vitt

Not without a clear explanation on what they want to change!!!

Timothy Johnson

Because the Republicans want to control the voters instead of the voters controlling the government.

Harry D

You can't possibly believe that. Everyone knows these initiative petitions are bought and paid for by out-of-state special interests who are very well funded. Constitutions should only be amended on rare occasions and it should be difficult to do, not easy to buy.

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?

Richard Von Glahn

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.

Rick Smith

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

Zaos Gonzolez

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.

Harry D

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.

You accepted the benefits or lack there of when you accepted the job. If they offer overtime see if you can store all or part of your hours for unforeseen circumstances. If not look for a company that provides leave and quit trying to force small businesses out.
