        This is reprehensible. I just dont understand what's happening. I take responsibility for my part in my lack of engagement in past. No more.

        Meaning if they don't like their pay they should find another job.

        This is a misleading headline. City voted for higher wage. GOP controlled state is overturning decision. Give credit where credit is due

        Anyone know if the people making $10 now grandfathered in?

        They never got the raise. It was struck down before it even went into effect.

        Ok had to check. The bump to $11 was in 2018. So yeah the $10 should be in effect but i haven't seen anything about grandfathering them in.

        if not, could drastically change lives for those who take a $2+ an hour drop in pay. $80 + a week drop will make a difference.

        Right. Hopefully they were saving that extra money for those couple of paychecks. Pretty sad. Small government!

        Must ensure state control. Fed intrusion is bad. If a state elects a demon gov/congress, said demon should have free reign to do anything.
