The state of Missouri ranks dead last in teacher pay and state worker pay across the country. State workers, like me, are handed heavy workloads and have immense responsibilities in our work. While I love my job it is drastically overdue for state workers to recieve a raise to retain good employees.
You want services, the LEAST you can do is 1.5 percent below current inflation. They need more than 5.5 or it just kicks the can a few months down the road.
Corrections is the largest dept in the state. Yet they're the second lowest paid corrections dept of every state and has the 8th highest inmate population. They desperately need a raise
Court clerks make on average just minimum wage. Some have 20+ years and not just anyone can step in and do their jobs if they leave. Treating our MoDot like their dispensable is deplorable. They actually risk their lives and take constant training to do their job.
As a state employee I can honestly say it is necessary if they wish for me to continue working for the State of Missouri. It is not a favor to give me a raise, but a requirement at this point. It is long overdue and will not be swept under the rug.
It's time that the public servants of this state had pay commensurate with other states this is why we cannot keep employees. When seasoned long term state workers can go to work at Walmart and make more money it's time to do something about the problem.
If you staff correctly & uphold attendance policies, there shouldn't be an issue. Unwell employees means non-productive employees. If you can afford expensive vacations, then you can take care of your employees. It's that simple.
This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.
Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.
Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.
This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.
This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.
They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes
and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.
Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!
This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.

ReplyYes they should. But it has to be greater than 7% inflation rate (and 7% is a bogus number.)

ReplyState employees are essential to keep the state going. Wages are going up every where the state should follow suit.
ReplyBecause we are one of the lowest paid out of all 50 states and it is hard for us to find or keep good employees at our current salary.
ReplyI am a state employee. 12 is not enough for the work we do
