This may have come as a surprise to some, especially in a city that is generally ranked among the most liberal in the country: 46.9 percent of voters in the city are registered Democrats, and only 13.9 percent are registered Republicans.
In the video clip, one man mentions maybe trying for $12 an hour next year. I'm still looking for the source of the $15 an hour standard.
Critics of the proposed bill said that their reasons were
economic rather than political; many small business in and around the city said
that they would be unable to afford it.
That's my "objection" to the idea of $15. I do believe that some businesses could afford it and many couldn't. There's also the idea that in some areas that may be a necessary minimum and in some areas it's not. I do think it would be great if everyone made at least that amount. Not sure it makes economic sense, tho.
