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.

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
