Appearing on the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs’ podcast “Weighing In,” NFIB State Director Jerrod Shouse discusses small business owners’ opposition to State Question 832. During the interview, Shouse describes the numerous negative ripple effects State Question 832 will have on the state’s economy, consumers, workers, and Main Street employers.
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the state’s leading small business advocacy organization, this week launched a statewide campaign urging Oklahoma voters to vote no on State Question 832.
“State Question 832 will crush our Main Street businesses and family farms, whose costs will increase overnight,” warned NFIB State Director Jerrod Shouse. “While many businesses already pay well-above the current minimum wage, those who don’t often report that they simply cannot afford to do so. The cost of doing business in rural communities cannot be sustained at the same cost in metro areas. We urge Oklahomans to vote ‘no’ on State Question 832.”
