Lawmakers on a Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to slash unemployment benefits — part of a Republican-backed
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsors the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said people have been too critical of his bill.
“The wording is ‘we’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he says. "These are young adults.”
This is the quote and it’s appalling.
People are LYING! We’re NOT trying to harm Children! We’re trying to harm Young Adults!
-That guy.
