Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin yesterday signed a bill into law that prohibits local communities from enacting minimum wage increases and paid sick day/vacation requirements.
Today's republican party: the locals know best until they ask corporations to pay people a living wage. Then, they need the guiding hand of government to protect them from having a decent life so some corporate CEO can have eight houses instead of seven.
You know what's really sad? This woman just fucked over one-fifth of the residents of her state, justified it with easily discredited reasons, and made her state's economy worse (consumer spending drives the entire country's economy), and yet she'll win re-election in a walk.
Oklahoma, not O.K.
Peace,
