2015 Senate Scorecard Veto Session Update

The biggest disappointment was the lack of recognition by so many Republican legislators that Missouri’s economy is stuck in the basement being beat by ALL of our surrounding states. Their failure to provide a tool to Missouri businesses and most of all to the workers of Missouri that would lead to boost to our economy and more opportunities and increased earnings to our workers.  Here are the Republicans who voted for the economic stagnation status quo for Missouri’s workers:

One Republican representative, TJ Berry, voted “Present” on the override. That vote was the same as NO as it took away from the 109 needed.

The good news is that five representatives (four Republicans and one Democrat) changed their votes to yes. They listened, they understood that Missouri’s workers deserved better!

Don’t think that’s the end of it though! The fight to bring an economic environment that is seeing two to three times the jobs created than forced union states see, twice the wage growth and more population by bringing employee freedom to Missouri is far from over. It’s a matter of “when” not “if”!
