Dec. 20, 2013 http://www.opb.org/news/article/npr-governor-inslee-says-time-for-statewide-minimum-wage-discussion/
Washington Governor Jay Inslee says its time for a discussion on raising the states minimum wage already the nations highest but stopped short of calling for a $15 per hour statewide minimum wage.
I dont have any particular number in mind right now, said the governor. This is something we need to have a conversation about.
The Democrats comments Thursday come in the wake of a vote in the city of SeaTac to enact a $15 per hour minimum wage. The idea has also been proposed by a newly elected Seattle city council member.

(15,262 posts)4. It already is, of course. It should also be on the ballot in every state with an initiative law.
We need a national movement, backed by AFL-CIO, et.al., placing a $12.50 minimum on the ballot in every single state that has an initiative process.
Will that get out voters or what!
