Eight months after voters approved it, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the repeal of a law Thursday that had guaranteed paid sick leave to workers and inflationary adjustments to the minimum wage.
The move marked a major victory for the state’s largest business group and a frustrating defeat for workers’ rights advocates, who had spent years — and millions of dollars — building support for the successful ballot measure. The repeal will take effect Aug. 28.
Sounds like the next ballot action should be any elected official who offers up legislation to repeal a ballot initiative immediately loses their seat without any further action needed. If enacted by a ballot only a ballot should be able to repeal it and anyone who suggests otherwise doesn’t belong in office.
Feel like the ballot has been tossed in the trash, and its time for missouri to go on to plan b.
Loses their seat? Not their head?
Gotta get this one through first so that we can then not have to worry about repeal when we add the lose their head part later.
