From the Office of the Governor: "'Senate Bill 188 would undermine key provisions of the Missouri Human Rights Act, rolling back decades of progress in protecting civil rights,' Gov. Nixon said. 'The bill would make it harder to prove discrimination in the workplace, and would throw new hurdles in the path of those whose rights have been violated. That is unacceptable, and it stops here.'"
GOP opponent Peter Kindersupported the pro-discrimination bill at part of the corporate lobby's "Fix the Six" platform, along with their proposal to gut the state's voter-approved minimum wage law.
