Yes

No
I believe all bills should be single action bills, with no add on items to get them passed.
Reply ReplyI am tired of the missouri legislation always over turning the vote of the people. They did the same with the gas tax, sports betting and legalizing Marijuana. They made the people vote several times to get what they want and that is wrong. Then they try and word the bills different to desive
Reply ReplyWhat's the use in putting the choice to a vote to so congress can decide that they don't like the outcome and Not go by the people's choices. Seems like Tyrrany to me and I'm a Republican. This is what Blue States like California does. I see it's bout time we move back to a Real Red State.
Reply ReplyMissourians clearly said they wanted this. People are tired of being mistreated by their employers. So many of us are forced to go to work sick, potentially getting coworkers sick, because we can't afford to go to the doctor. Our representatives spit in all of our faces with this proposal.
Reply ReplyI gave my answer/decision to the question when I voted. And now my elected officials are ignoring that choice. This makes me wonder wonder what purpose those elected officials actually serve.
Reply ReplyI think it's wrong to put something out for a vote, it's voted on and won and then the people's servants laugh in the voters faces, snatch it away and basically say "LoL just kidding". It's just wrong on so many levels. How are your constituents supposed to trust AND VOTE for you?
Reply ReplyBecause it will not hurt the businesses to the extent that NOT having paid sick leave hurts the workers. It's ONE hour paid for every 30 hours worked. Seriously stop being miserly. People get sick but bills don't stop needing to be paid. And the VOTERS voted it in so LEAVE IT ALONE
Reply ReplyPeople need time off for work when or family emergency. This can be very difficult when living pay check to paycheck.you can bet their supervisors get PTO.!
Reply ReplyWe VOTED. ELECTED OFFICIALS SWORE AN OATH TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE!!!! NOT THEIR WILL PERSONALLY. IT IS WRONG TO OVERTURN THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. WOMEN ARE EQUAL IN EVERY WAY. FACT IS, IT IS THE FIRST EMOTIONAL TOPIC WITH THE INTENT TO SUPPRESS WOMENS RIGHTS!! BAREFOOT, PREGNANT, SUBSERVIENT!!
Reply ReplyPeople voted for it. The commercials ran for paid sick leave. They never once advertised that it was also going to raise minimum wage. The platform was paid sick leave. Since it was passed, it should stay. They should have thought about small business's before it was put on the ballot.
Reply ReplyPeople deserve human decency to be able to care for themselves and their families no matter what the job is. This Missouri repeal is sickening.
Reply ReplyThe voters spoke we want abortion rights. We want mandatory sick time. We are tired or businesses be able to control our lives. If people haven't noticed the work force has been fighting back. Places are so understaffed right now because nobody wants to work there lives away. I'm a lifelong republic
Reply ReplyThis is the sort of thing that takes the willingness of the people to go vote. If we thr people can't have such benefits, then the people that are in office shouldn't get the benefits they get for "serving" the public.
Reply ReplyIt's completely ridiculous that our elected officials go against the will of their constituents.
Reply ReplyI'm very tired of our elected officials doing the opposite of their jobs by going against the will of the people. They've forgotten who they really work for.
Reply ReplyGoing against the majority proves they're serving their own interests, and not the people of missouri. In this case, they've denied citizens the right to take care of themselves and families in times of illness and limiting the risk of losing their jobs. MO Red is anti-voter.
Reply ReplyThe voters spoke !!!! let it stand!!. Its not up to a few old bastards in the state government who just so happen to be taking the rest of the year off,, to decide to go against the will of the majority of the people.
Reply Reply'Voter-approved laws should never be repealed unless undone by a vote. Every lawmaker involved in this repeal should be voted out of office, including the governor if he approves it.'
Reply ReplyI am retired but voted yes to this amendment during the general election last November. I am highly concerned about the Missouri legislature’s disdain for the voters' choices on this and other voter-approved electoral issues.
Reply ReplyThey ought to represent the people that vote. We voted. This undermines the mandate that was given by the electorate and undoes the will of the people.
Reply ReplyBecause no job is worth more than the health and well being of any individual, and if the people voted for it then why are the lawmakers trying to change it? Maybe we should vote for different representatives of Missouri that actually have the people's interests in mind
Reply ReplyMissouri elected legislature should not be going against the will of the people
Reply ReplyLawmakers are chosen by the people to be our voice. We the people have said we want this and that should be the end of it.

With not-quite-60% of the vote, Missourians SPOKE LOUDLY & CLEARLY ON THIS ISSUE, YET REP. JOHN VOSS LET CAPE GIRARDEAUANS DOWN! But this is the Show-Me State! We'll show them... Cuz we're coming for a Constitutional Amendment! #MatthewRider2026! #SocialDemocratForStateRep2026✊🏼
Reply ReplyIn my personal experience it is not small businesses that will be affected by this the most. We workers who are at small businesses feel more appreciated and typically have the ability to have more flexibility in our schedules in case of sickness and or needing time off for our children's illnesses.
Reply ReplyNowadays a lot of places have a point system and they're normally instead of the very low number like my job has five points in your fire I have five kids so that extra hour of coverage works for me case one of my kids is sick or happens at school or anything else!!
Reply ReplyIf the people voted for it why do the politicians want to take it away or is this just another example of businesses running government
Reply ReplyEveryone gets sick or has sick kids. Only a few make minimum wage. You can't help but get sick, but you can better yourself to make more than minimum wage.
Reply ReplyWhat's he point of voter referendum when lobbyists can connive the Legislature into reversing it? Jackasses
Reply ReplyI’ll never forget when my newborn was in the ER for coughing up blood. I asked my manager for help and she said “Well, I guess your husband will have to take care of her.” But he had to work too, and had a competitive job where half positions got fired recently and feared not completing his project.
Reply ReplyI would not show up to work. There is no chance I would leave the side of my wife or children for anything.
Employers should be allowed to run their own businesses, they know what their expenses are and will treat their employees as well as they can if they want to keep them. employees cannot tell their boss how to run their own business. If a person wants paid sick leave, get a job that offers it.
ReplyEmployers will just reduce other types of leave if additional sick leave is mandated. The Missouri Legislature is once again correcting a corrupt amendment that appealed to low-information voters.
ReplyEven when the already rigged elections don't go the way they want, they always have a back door to circumvent the will of the people.
ReplyRepeal ALL legislation in MO. The more legislation repealed, the better!
