Yesterday, without debate, the House International Trade and Job Creation Committee passed Rep. Jerry Nolte's (R-Gladstone) bill (HB61) to overturn Missouri's minimum wage law that was passed by voters in 2006. Nolte's proposal would completely eliminate the cost of living adjustments approved by 76% of voters in 2006, tying Missouri's minimum wage to the already inadequate federal standard.
Never mind all that talk about state sovereignty and respecting the will of the voters.
