From the LVRJ: California legislators and labor unions have reached an agreement that will take the state’s minimum wage from $10 to $15 an hour.
Sen. Mark Leno, a Democrat from San Francisco, said Saturday that a deal has been reached. The proposal would go before the Legislature as part of his minimum-wage bill that stalled last year. Leno said the deal would avoid taking the issue to the ballot. One union-backed initiative has already qualified for California’s November ballot and a second, competing measure is also trying to qualify.
Leno did not confirm specifics of the agreement, but most proposals have the wage increasing about a dollar per year until it reaches $15 per hour.
At $10, California already has one of the highest minimum wages in the nation. A hike to $15 would make it the highest by far, though raises are in the works in other states. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/california-minimum-wage-deal-reached
California is dying, almost 100% caused by State government which is run by the democrats/socialists.
It doesn't help when the current governor is a full fledged socialist and he will justify any socialism proposed so the socialism can be justified by the dead beat governor.
