If your school is failing your child you should have the right to move your child to a school district that is not failing their students.

Harry D

Parents should send their kids, and tax $, to the best school for their kid. When school boards, hand-picked by the teacher union, like CPS, have failing schools, barely credentialed by state, tax $ leaving the district might be disruptive change needed for improvement. FJB

Max DeYoung

The funds should also be transferable to non-public, parochial, or private institutions if they have credentials approved by the state.

Harry D

That is next step. Conservatives have finally figured out how to make incremental change in the right direction. Next thing you know they will be ballot harvesting and claiming water line leaks at vote counting places while the ballots are repeatedly run. We must fight dirty like Dems. FJB

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

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.

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.
