This law, although a thoughtful goal is going to have the opposite effect!
No one would pay more for a worker who provides less production.
As these handicap workers loose their jobs, foolish politicians will have to give companies tax credits to keep them employed!
Of course the Governors hotels could hire them all, yes, that’s the answer!
