Today in the Post-Dispatch: "[The St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association and other major business organizations — including the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry — have a much lower standard of accuracy when it comes to the political arena. Case in point: Item four on the “Fix the Six” legislative campaign being waged in the Missouri Legislature. It would eliminate cost-of-living increases for Missouri’s minimum-wage workers. Missouri’s business community has dispensed with facts when it comes to chiseling pennies from Missouri’s lowest-paid workers. Instead, it has adopted one of the Legislature’s favored approaches: flimflammery."
