When Missouri voters say ‘yes’ — and lawmakers say ‘no’

from St. Louis on the Air

Missouri voters have repeatedly approved ballot measures — from protecting abortion rights and expanding Medicaid to raising the minimum wage and legalizing marijuana. But lawmakers haven’t always honored those decisions, rolling back mandated paid sick leave and gutting a 2012 measure that gave St. Louis’ mayor control of the police. GOP political consultant David Barklage explains the Republican strategy, and STLPR statehouse and politics reporter Sarah Kellogg looks at what’s next for paid sick leave advocates.
