Sen. Koenig on state work pay, workforce development

One Missouri Senator sounds a little lukewarm to a state worker pay raise this year.

But Senator Andrew Koenig of Manchester says he doesn’t want to see staffers leave state government.

“Some positions may not need a pay increase at all, but there may be positions that keep workers because you don’t want high turnover, because there’s high cost when you have high turnover,” said Koenig.

Koenig is part of the Conservative Caucus in Jefferson City. He says he also doesn’t back the Governor’s call for workforce development incentives. He says private business should do that work on their own.
