Star: "Protect Missouri’s Minimum-Wage Law From Meddling GOP"

Today in The Star: "Missouri House Republicans have long made clear their disdain for the state’s working poor. Now it seems their contempt extends to voters as well. By a count of 96 to 61, with all but eight Republicans in favor, the House this week took a preliminary vote to undo an essential portion of a 2006 voter-approved statute that is intended to guarantee low-paid workers a reliable base income...House Republicans would rather break faith with those voters than risk incurring the wrath of the pro-business groups that hold such sway inside the Capitol."
