Local Governments Raise Minimum Wage–Republicans Fight To Lower It (VIDEO)
By Ted Millar on July 16, 2017

Republicans love to tout “local control,” “states’ rights,” and “smaller government.”

But when St. Louis, Missouri raised its minimum wage to $10 per hour, Republicans saw it as a bridge too far.

Missouri Republicans passed a law recently prohibiting counties and cities from creating their own minimum wage laws.

And it doesn’t stop there. The new legislation actually decreases the minimum wage to $7.70–lower than it was before it was raised.
