Raising the Minimum Wage in Missouri

Funny, my head is back in Missouri these days. There’s a ballot measure in the upcoming election to raise the state minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.50, and continue to raise the minimum wage inline with inflation rates.

I’ve been working for the “Give Missourians a Raise” coalition doing their web design. I’m so pleased that I can still be a part of things back home. Makes me feel useful.

“Give Missourians a Raise” was just featured in a headline story on PBS’s Newshour with Jim Lehrer. Very exciting to see that kind of nation coverage on this issue:

• Link to audio file (MP3).

It would be nice to find some way to be useful in Kunming.
