WASHINGTON, D.C. — Lackeys for out-of-state billionaires on Tuesday threatened to cut off Missouri lawmakers’ funding if they don’t pass the No Rights At Work bill pending in the Legislature.
Progress Missouri released a secret audio of a strategy session held in a government hearing room. Legislators were meeting with representatives of two groups pushing the anti-worker bill: the National Tax Limitation Committee and the West Michigan Policy Forum.
