Wages need to rise for most State workers. If the legislature wants to keep the budget under control, how about they lower their own salaries and benefits?

Dear God, I am a Republican. But we cannot keep staff at our prisons and state psychiatric hospitals. Inflation is overtaking us and we are being destroyed and dismantled by the private sector around us. HELP!

It is time for Missouri to finally step up and stop ranking dead last, in the entire United States, in the pay of essential state workers.

I have been a loyal employee of the State for over 15 years. Many years we don't even get a cost of living raise let alone any raises for good job performance. It is inexcusable that we are CONSISTENTLY ranked at the bottom compared to the salaries of other State employees across the nation!

State workers are instrumental to keeping state business aflow. The very staff in need of the pay increase will get less than everyone. Which is ridiculous. . ALL state workers are being paid extremely less than any other state in the US. MO legislature are ridiculous to believe that they conti

I am in favor of pay raise for mo state workers due to being lowest paid in the country. Inflation has raised prices of everything. We can't keep workers due to low pay and that causing employees to work astronomical overtime hrs weekly. Moral is low. Quality of care to individuals is conpromised.

There is no reason for fast food workers, to make more money than our government workers. Inflation is already swallowing Parson's proposal. Let's Go Brandon.

It’s time to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour which is about $32,400 based on 2080 hours a year.

They need to come and do my job at ERDCC department of Corrections for a day and see what I do. I work my butt off for the state and only making 12.00 dollars an hour. I don't even get hazard pay for going inside the fence. If it weren't for OSA the Aw, FUM`s & caseworker job would not be complete!

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.
