The seven year lead-in period (that doesn't even start for almost a year) makes this almost meaningless. In 8 years I would hope the federal minimum is at or above $15...

It's crazy hearing people freak out about how this will wreck the economy though. Strange times in Seattle, still waiting on our pot stores, Colorado is way ahead and already bringing in tax $. Oh and we have a billion dollar machine stuck under our waterfront.
