I tend to be the concerned citizen who votes for laws which take power away from the “man” and give it to the citizens. In the case of the paid sick leave mandate in Milwaukee I had to vote in favor of the “man”. Especially since the main “man” affected is the small business owner. For small businesses who rely on part time work to grow this vote only makes the decision to take on new employees more difficult leading to slower growth leading to less small businesses being built in the Milwaukee area. If we want to be a city which follows the same track as Detroit and relies and a handful of large businesses then yes we should vote yes on this issue. If we want to continue to support new small businesses in our area we should follow the MMAC’s stance and stand up to this.
