| Description | A latte costs $4. A movie ticket is more than $6. Yet the minimum wage is still just $5.15 an hour, where it's been for seven long years.
This fall, thanks to the nearly 1 million Floridians who signed petitions to bring a minimum-wage increase to the ballot, voters across the state will have the opportunity to brighten this picture for more than 300,000 minimum-wage workers by voting whether to raise the state's minimum wage to $6.15 per hour and index it to inflation.
Floridians should vote to do so without hesitation; it is the right thing to do, both morally and economically. |
