Heck no. Students need an actual snow day so they can go outside and shovel the snow off their sidewalks to avoid $500 per day fines from the City. The sidewalk must remain clear of snow and ice, even if it is still snowing and the streets are not even plowed. Don't you read your own reporting KMIZ?

Harry, I am just shocked, that you question the "Rules and Regulations" that our city leaders have blessed us with. Shocked, I say. Furthermore, they leave that snow and ice on the road, to protect our tires, from the potholes.

Some students do not have access to computer or high speed internet at home.

Because snow days are already worked into the school schedule and its something the kids look forward to. No school, no waking up early, and playing in the snow.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
