Speaking to reporters after session’s end, Greitens said he’d have to take a close look at the bill before making a final decision.

“With all of these bills that have just been passed, some within the last couple of hours, we’re going to sit down and do a full and complete review of this bill and all of the implications that it could have for the people of Missouri,” he said.

What is sure to be a massive push by labor and other supporters of the higher minimum wage to get Greitens to veto the bill began even before passage.

“Taking the money that someone has earned out of their pocket is shameful,” David Cook, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 655 in St. Louis, said in a statement imploring Greitens to issue such a veto. “I would remind the governor that regular hard-working Missourians don’t have millions of dollars in dark money from shadowy billionaires to keep them afloat, and they don’t have taxpayers paying their salary either.”
