Minimum Wage Bill Passed...
Yesterday the House of Representatives passed a minimum wage bill bumping hourly pay for more than 300,000 workers in Massachusetts from $6.75 to $8 an hour over the next two years.
As a result of the bill we passed the minimum wage will increase 75 cents by January 1, 2007, from $6.75 to $7.50, and then up to $8 by 2008. The minimum wage will not be tied to inflation.
As you may already know, state legislators meeting yesterday in a Constitutional Convention, decided to put off debate on a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage. The issue will be debated after November's election. Some people were not very happy about this postponement. As usual, I will welcome your comments. Send an email to repdonato38@aol.com.
