Campaign Update (from Manhattan)

Although I've moved to NY to take a new job, the minimum wage campaign continues in a strong way. The lack of updates here is merely explained by the distractions I've faced with a move and not by any lack of movement in the campaign's progress to raise the minimum wage in Greensboro.

An update from campaign committee co-chair, Jim Boyett, includes the status of the petition drive. More than 4,500 signatures have been collected so far and the current goal is to collect a few thousand more at the November elections and submit those to the city council by December 15. This should give the new council time to respond to the petition and, if it chooses to deny the request, for the referendum to go on the May ballot.

I'll continue updating this site with campaign information and links to articles of interest.
