Final push - petition drive

After reviewing the signatures on our petition, the board of elections determined that we are still short 1,000 valid signatures. (Several of the signatures we had originally were of people not officially registered to vote or who have since moved away.)

So if you are still interested in signing the petition, you can do so until Thursday, January 17 at 1103 West Lee St. (The building looks like a small house, but is a business.) It is open from 10:30am until 6:30pm. You just need to walk in and ask to sign the petition.

If you've already signed the petition, good for you! Encourage your friends to do so, too.

I'm sure you all are not so nieve as to realize that once you increase the minimum wage to such a higher figure the cost of goods will go up and in short time nothing has been gained. I'm all for higher wages but this is not the way, possible smaller more incremental increases to mimimize the impact.

I love how liberals use minimum wage as a means to "help" people. It is perhaps the single most obvious and stupid concept in politics. Anyone with a brain can figure out that this can not work. You know why? Its simple.

If I own a business and I am now forced to give out higher salaries to my employees on a non-economic basis, then who do you think will eat the cost? You are correct. The customer. The hamburger that cost $1.45 last week, will now cost $2.15 next week.

The minimum wage issue is nothing more that a lobbying point for the labor unions.

Liberals love hurting the ones they claim to help
