The debate has now started on the Minimum Wage bill. The House has to decide whether to concur with the bill that was returned from the Senate. The House had passed their bill last year and the legislation has been worked on in a Conference Committee since.
After many hours of comments, Representative Ryan Winkler, the bill’s author, made an outstanding closing speech on behalf of the bill before the vote. Definitely worth a listen!
The bill passed 71-60.
