Bernalillo County Sets Date for Wage Vote
From ACORN:
The Bernalillo County Commission will vote of Commissioner Alan Armijo's proposal to match the City of Albuquerque's minimum wage ordinance on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, November 28. The meeting begins at 4:30 in the Commission/City Council Chambers in the basement of 1 Civic Plaza, so please come early if you want to sign up to testify.
The proposal would provide an almost immediate raise to workers in the county, providing a wage of $6.75 on January 1 and rising to $7.50 by 2009. The ordinance would allow no exemptions for teenagers or small businesses. For more information, contact Matthew Henderson at ACORN: 242-7411.

Seems to me a waste of time, considering that a minimum wage raise will be at the top of the list of things "To Do The First 100 hrs" when Democratic House members take control.
