On The Table: A $9 Minimum Wage By 2015 (Updated)
The minimum wage hike is now being talked about as a phase-in...$9 by the end of 2015. January will see the first hike, to $8. This is an easier-to-take way of implementing if it has to happen. On The Table: A $9 Minimum Wage By 2015 (Updated)

agree with whats her face should be $22 hr,what tha heck we can afford it.
Reports say that the Democrats were holding out because they didn't want a separate "learning wage".
Why would they object to a training wage? It would only be lazy punk kids earning the training wage.
Is it because democrats know how expensive tattoos ring-back tones and energy drinks are?
Democrats raise the worst acting kids and they raise them to be the most unproductive adult leaches on society. Not only do they want to give kids free birth control while they go to college until they are 30, but they want to give them free healthcare on their parents policy...and no training wage too.
on the Minimum Wage agreement apparently close to being included in the budget, it is half a loaf for Minimum Wage earners. I think his analysis of the disproportionate amount of leverage Sen. Dean Skelos is able to exert at the negotiating table is a direct result of Coalition government not serving the interests of rank and file Democrats. Governor Cuomo has shown himself to be a 'Progressive' on recent ‘Social’ legislation, but has yet to enact legislation that Working Class people have a right to expect from their Democratic Governor. Plainly speaking it is a mistake he's made before; trying to get the approval of Skelos at the expense of the worker isn't progressive at all in the minds of rank and file Democrats. Sen. Jeff Klein has been oversold as an agent of 'Progressive' change and so has the IDC Coalition form of government.
If you wanted to call it the price of living bill, okay that brings much more to the table. Having a bill that helps everyone in the work place would be much more of a TREASURE. Some of us who have worked for 20 years (HARD) don't get real rich. We could use a paddle too. Where's the hard working man's bill?

Wow! Now I can work 40 hours a week for 50 weeks (2000 hours), and make the princely sum of $18,000 a year!
No more making "20 hour money for a 40 hour week" for this guy!
Sen. Mike Gianaris is correct:
