How they voted: Missouri House on barring city minimum wage increases, plastic bag bans

September 16, 2015 By Mike Lear

The Missouri House voted to override Governor Jay Nixon’s (D) veto of legislation that would bar cities from passing ordinances that would increase the minimum wage, or that would ban the use of plastic bags by businesses, within their borders.

Backers say such minimum wage increases will hurt employers and Missourians by forcing businesses to increase prices to compensate, putting them at a disadvantage to businesses outside the city whose prices don’t go up.

Opponents say the bill is an attack on local control.
