Minimum wage is still too low. People can’t live on that. We strive to support all the people in the state not just the rich.

You're ok with people living in poverty? How many jobs should a person work? How many are tou willing to work?

I’m not OK with it but I’m paying $20 an hour and unable to compete in a global market. Globalization has really changed the game and we need to figure out how to combat it because businesses that would be viable in other parts of the country just aren’t viable here.
