Absolutely, paid sick leave is necessary for everyone.

Stephanie Vandas Andersen

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.

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.

Well my uneducated self who is debt free, doesn't live outside my means, retired before 50 will be just fine regardless what happens. No you educated, debt ridden, living off the government's charity..... well you yourself are to blame. Be accountable for your life and actions.

When the debt finally becomes unsustainable ... which isn't that far off ... the solution historically is to monetize the debt, leading to hyperinflation. Read up on it ... you will not be immune.

For workers it is sound. For those on welfare it could be a problem. Things are about to change.

The "dollar" is not real. The economy is the labor the people provide.

Because Kansas is a better program. KU used to be bad but Coach Lance Leipold has made KU better.

Going to say it's about right for this point in the season. They can move up as they keep winning games.

Fat Guy Outdoors

They beat an unranked Kansas team. Take it easy, it was a great win but it was Kansas. Do that to a top 25 team now. Great game though was a great experience.

Randy Davis

The tigers are overrated as it is.

JIC CoMo

It just depends on how the other teams done in the league. That is how teams should be ranked.
