Minimum Wage

City Residents Collect Enough Signatures to Advance $30 Minimum Wage Proposal to Council Vote

Local organizers spent months collecting signatures for a proposal that would gradually raise the city’s minimum wage to $30 an hour, with different implementation dates based on employer size. After the campaign qualified the proposal for consideration, a City Council committee voted unanimously to place it before the full council. The council can adopt it, seek further analysis or refer it to voters.
