Mandatory paid sick leave is a bad deal for Spokane's small business

Spokane's communist thinking City Council with its ruthless president Ben Stuckart and his gang of tyrants Amber Waldref, Johnny Snyder and Candace Mumm are again want to make Spokane not a place small business should practice business.  Mandatory paid sick leave will not allow a business the quality of their employees.  Government should not be in process of telling a business how to operate their business.  If an employee can not come into work they have a family health issue.  Most business will adjust to that employee's family concerns if the employee is a good asset to the company.  Some employees will abuse this as well to get paid time and not work.  Since these policies are using built in way you can not fire the employee on sick leave.  You are paying an unproductive employee.  I get that if you have a sick child you need to be home to take care of that child.  What happened to asking family members to take care of your sick child or friends who have flexible schedules.  Government should never get involved in personnel decisions of a business.  This policy will drive away small business away from Spokane.  Remember it is the small businesses that make a local economy great not the big businesses.  They employee more workers then the big business.  Remember the major cost of a business is labor when government raises that cost you have to either lay off an employee or raise prices.  Usually most business will choose to lay off versus raise prices.  Please tell Spokane's communist council no paid sick leave for Spokane's small business.
