Minimum Wage Bills Pushed in at Least 30 States

ALBANY, N.Y. Minimum-wage increase proposals are getting the maximum push
from Democrats in statehouses in more than half of U.S. states,
highlighting the politically potent income inequality issue this year.
.
Lawmakers in at least 30 states are sponsoring or are expected to
introduce wage hike measures, according to a national review by The
Associated Press. They hope to notch state-level victories as President
Barack Obama and congressional Democrats remain stymied in attempts to
raise the federal minimum wage above $7.25 an hour. The president is
expected to mention the minimum wage in his State of the Union address
Tuesday.
.
Even in Republican-dominated capitals where the bills are longshots, the
measures still give Democrats a chance to hammer home the popular theme of
fair wages in what is an election year in most places.
.
"It's a no-brainer for any Democrat," said Neil Sroka, a strategist for
progressive groups who is communications director at the Howard
Dean-founded Democracy for America. "Congress is failing. They can take
real action right in the states and have a demonstrable impact right here
at home. For politics and policy, it's a winning strategy."
.
Minimum wage is a perennial issue that has taken on a higher profile amid
the slowly recovering economy and growing public debate about income
inequality. A Quinnipiac University poll this month found 71 percent of
Americans in favor of raising the minimum wage including more than half
of Republicans polled.
.
Michael Sargeant, executive director of the Democratic Legislative
Campaign Committee, calls it an "organic issue that's bubbling up from the
grassroots." But it's also being pressed by politicians and labor unions.
Democrats challenging Republican governors have taken up the issue, and
there are ballot initiatives in several states.
.
"We are facing a huge income gap that only continues to widen, where the
workers at the top see large wage increases and the workers at the bottom
are at a standstill. That needs to change," said Massachusetts Democratic
Senate President Therese Murray.
