When some business owners are asked what consequence a raise in the minimum wage would have on their company, they almost always answer, “Well, we will just have to lay off some workers.” This attitude is very confusing to me. Do they mean that they have more workers than they need prior to the raise in the minimum wage? I hope their boss doesn’t find out about these surplus workers and this poor form of management.
A HUGE BOUQUET OF ROSES:
For the Cedar County Road and Bridge Department for coming to our rescue on short notice. I cannot thank them enough. Thank you!
A HUGE BOUQUET OF THORNS: For the Missouri Department of Transportation. For the first time in an extremely long time, they piled snow along our driveway entrances at Cedar County Library. We can clear the entrance of inches of snow very easily, but 4-5 feet is a real challenge. By the way, we were not alone.
-Glenda Pate, librarian, Cedar County Library
A THORN: To all the able-bodied people who did not clear their sidewalks. I saw one who shoveled a narrow path to his car for himself and never shoveled his sidewalk at all. He could have cleared a path for the mail carrier, too.
