Money matters: State senate should raise minimum wage
Within the hallowed halls of the Michigan's Legislature, a debate over the state's minimum wage is raging. Currently, the Senate is entertaining a proposal that would raise the minimum wage in two parts to $5.15 by September 1998, the first wage hike in 19 years. Many Democrats and Republicans agree that the minimum wage should be higher, but they have had trouble deciding on a specific measure. Moreover, business interests and labor unions continue to clash over the proposed raise.
