Move On For 50 Hike To MH Emploees
Missouri mental health workers pressed a plan for a $50 monthly pay rise with about 9 000 division employees affected most earning under $500. Dr George Alett said the state seeks a $2 200 000 emergency appropriation and would ask House Appropriations Committee chair Rep E J Cantrell to back the move after mental health commission approval.
