100%. It's been over 11 years since the last increase in 2009. It's past-time to #RaiseTheWage

And by the time y'all do, $15/hr will be insufficient to live on. It's hardly doable now in many cities.

Can you do it so it doesn't take FIVE YEARS for $15 take effect? Or how about making it $20 over five years? Inflation has decimated the current minimum wage. And while you're there, pin the minimum wake to inflation so we don't have to keep doing this.

My mom, who was frugal bc she remembered her father lost his job on Wall St. in the Depression, put away money over the yrs and paid caregivers $15-20/hr. when she needed care. If she could afford it, so can corporations. Period.

Raising the minimum wage will force restaurants and other small businesses into bankruptcy. Period.

Thank you Senator. It 2hat we have been saying for years & years..the way businesses can *win* with increased wages is taking less of huge profit margin...time for everyone to do their part. And pay their fair share of taxes.
