They disguised a 15% increase within their plateaus. This really hurts students who worked hard in high school and community college before Mizzou and only need 14-15 credits per semester. They are paying like they are taking 18 credits.

Losing 10 days for something that should have already been included in benefits is nuts. Only helps those planning to have a family. Also the short term disability is only 60% of pay which for most is not enough. Cutting benefits without pay increases for 2 years. Not a good look.

They are also capping the pay out to 10 days total of your PTO. What about folks that have been working here for many years and have a lot of banked vacation. Doesn't seem right. There will be a lot of people retiring or leaving before this goes into effect

Trading 10 paid days off for benefits that many won't ever use is in no way an improvement.

Maybe the threat of criminal charges will stop some of this stupidity and save lives from being permanently ruined or ended altogether.

If this was someone giving another person a dose of heroine and that person died then there would be murder charges

Someone gave this man enough alcohol to nearly kill him. He may never be normal again. If I buy a single beer at a convenience store for an underage kid or even a pack of smokes I would be charged. This man was under 21 years of age. You liberals should put your collective minds together and decide.

Nothing in the question referenced being liberal or conservative. Or abortion for that matter. Why bring it up? As for the question, I too think all parties involved need to be held responsible for this. Charge them all to the fullest extent possible.
