Missouri House Advances Plan For Smaller State Worker Raises
Missouri state workers would soon be guaranteed a minimum of $12 to $15 an hour under a plan advancing in the state House.
The GOP-House voted 112-8 for the measure Wednesday. Republican Gov. Mike Parson asked for a minimum of $15 an hour for all state workers.
But House Republicans pared that back to $12 an hour or a 5.5% raise. The House plan would still set a minimum wage of $15 an hour for state health care workers and other direct-care providers.
The budget plan also includes money for at most $1,500 grants to reimburse low-income families for pandemic-related education costs.
