Cain's former lobbyist group, Chamber defeat Sick-Days Measure for Low-Wage Workers

[banned from Kos]

This vote occurred yesterday.

Advocates for working families in Denver had hoped to pass a measure in local elections that would have mandated paid sick leave for low-wage workers, but on Tuesday the measure was defeated by Denver voters, who were inundated with advertisements against the measure known as Initiative 300. Opposed by the National Restaurant Association and several local Chambers of Commerce, proponents of the family-friendly measure found themselves outspent by almost two-to-one.

Denver voters - this is pretty pathetic on your part.

1. I'm assuming low wage workers include restaurant employees

If that's the case, they'll just go into work sick and infect the diners so nice going, Denver. Who knew Karma tastes like Theraflu?
