I'm generally skeptical of $15 min. wage. But prob. good policy in Montgomery County w/ high costs, booming economy. https://t.co/T5Xfh2zAIX

a $15 minimum wage is good, but it's not enough to afford rent. we have to address the cost & supply of housing too. https://t.co/QHEyp4Nd2C

I agree with Dan. The minimum wage is a symptom not the cure. We must address the cost of living The cost 2 live is the illness🍲🏚️🚌🚅🚶🏿🚶🏿♀️ https://t.co/MzbyoaIgVt

I honestly don’t understand the point of passing a minimum wage that will be outdated before it even takes effect. I saw the headline and thought “Great!” I read the actual details and thought “Pointless.”
