Folks, always remember the Missouri Chamber of Commerce is ALWAYS AGAINST any increase in minimum wage for the working folks. Do you suppose just by chance they are trying to peddle their influence on our lawmakers? Management can make bad decisions, reward worthless CEO's with golden parachutes, but just let the workers have a chance for another .25 cents an hour and they will squall like a hog under a gate. The Missouri Chamber of Commerce is of NO value....PERIOD.
