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!

Whatever it takes. I'll support federal law enforcement efforts to clean up CoMo's crime problem as well.

Absolutely no reason for Military or ICE in MO or any state. Local law enforcement is present if needed.. Militant force against citizens in this country is unconstitutional. Another step to control citizens,further project 2025 and intimidate us and thwart 2025 and 2026 elections.

Inappropriate use of our talented national guard personnel. Local trouble is what we have local police for. Zaos, what if this was the zeitgeist when your ancestors arrived in this great land?

They are incompetent and don't need to stir the pot. They and ICE need to leave us alone. I'm tired of chaos and tired of us blaming the immigrants, when in reality, it's our fault for the slow process.

We should not be using military personnel on US soil unless ABSOLUTELY necessary (uncontrollable rioting, etc) This is about politics, not safety.

Do we really need the national guard to protect federal agents? This is a blatant abuse of American resources to support a xenophobic crackdown of our communities.
