House Democrats argued that a higher minimum wage would stimulate spending and improve the economy.  But State Representative Jeff Grisamore (R, Lee’s Summit) says capping the state minimum wage will help small businesses survive.

“The small business owner in Missouri that accounts for about 95 percent of the business activity in our state simply cannot sustain these unlimited increases and keep their doors open," Grisamore said.
