Higher Wages

Raising the minimum wage would help families to live in today's economy. As wages increase, the effect trickles upward creating county revenue, sales tax revenues and higher wages across the board. I am in favor of raising the minimum wage.

Raising the minimum wage is Good. Arriving at a living wage is Execellent. A living wage brings one parent home to raise the family. Family values demand we get one parent to a living wage.
