don't worry though, they'll still vote in the same lawmakers.

“This has shown Missourians just how out of touch our legislature is with the way the economy works for most families and their vision of how democracy should work in this state,” said Richard Von Glahn, policy director for Missouri Jobs with Justice, the organization that helped lead the campaign for the paid sick leave law.
Your heart is in the right place, my man, but that’s not “out of touch.” That’s OPEN HOSTILITY.

No matter where it appears to be on a map, Missouri is in the deep south.
There’s a reason they pronounce the state name as “misery”.
IIRC they repealed this law because employers would have had to pay employees when they were sick

Most of the referendum laws sponsored by voters are Constitutional Amendments that take an extra supermajority of 3/4 I think to overturn them. Others like Florida it is just statutory law and when they passed that law allowing felons to vote the lawmakers just jammed it up with other laws so only like 200 of them were registered to vote election time.
Time to change that. https://respectmovoters.org/

Representatives for the people no more. Elections are a sham at this point. Republicans have become full-on enemies of the people
A citizen denied paid sick leave should sue forcing this issue to the judiciary. If the courts side with lawmakers, then it will be full "mask off" that democracy in the Show Me State is a sham.
Will they not be voted out next election? Do they not understand that voting is what we do now, instead of guillotines?
