Go to a town meeting. They're fun to derail. Back when Jay Inslee was my congressman, I went to a town hall meeting. He asked a group of like 30 of us (everybody who showed up) what our primary concerns were. I said "a livable minimum wage." He sorta stared at me like I was from Mars, then stammered a little, and said "I'm not really hearing a lot of discussion about that." I said "you should be. It's one of the most important factors in economic prosperity." He kinda stared at me again and then brought things around to his pet project, The Apollo Alliance. That was 2006. He's governor of Washington now. Guess what.
Are you suggesting that tangentially, from your comments at a town meeting, you were able to make Washington State the highest minimum wage state in the country? Nice work.
Holy hell that lawsuit can't be taken seriously by any court. If allowed, would there be a different minimum wage for national and local businesses? Would states and municipalities not be able to regulate wages at all? Any judge with a head on his shoulders should throw it out.
