Missouri Democratic Party: Republicans have prioritized millionaire megadonors over Missourians

(From the Missouri Democratic Party)

Today is a sad day for working families in Missouri.

Today, harmful policies from Republicans in Jefferson City are going into effect, which means Missourians across the state will start to feel the effects of the GOP's attacks on working families.

No Missourian who works hard for forty hours every week should struggle to put food on their table. But this morning, Missourians woke up to smaller paychecks due to Republican attacks on the minimum wage.

And with the passage of SB43, which guts discrimination protections for workers, Missouri is now stained with an embarrassing and discriminatory bill that diminishes our workers, hurts our economy, and pushes the state backwards.

Republicans have once again prioritized their millionaire megadonors and dark money backers at the expense of Missourians. We should be fighting every day for working families -- not cutting their paychecks or rolling back their civil rights.

Stephen Webber, Chair
Missouri Democratic Party

    Mr Webber, I salute your efforts and wish you nothing but the best. But the folks of SW Mo do not care to dig into these difficult subjects. All they know is Trump has promised to build a wall and that transgenders will be eliminated from the military, they have right to work laws, and the minimum wage will remain minimum. Life will be swell! (please note: if a wall is built, the citizens of SW MO will not take the farming jobs, roofing jobs, etc that will be open)
