Senate panel asks voters to reconsider
their approval of $12 minimum wage             

By Howard Fischer Capitol Media Service 10 hrs ago 

PHOENIX -- Calling the voter-approved measure morally wrong, a Republican-controlled Senate panel voted Monday to ask voters to reconsider the 2016 measure that is set to hike the minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2020.

SCR 1016 would not entirely rescind what was approved by a margin of 58-42 percent. And wages would not go back to the $8.05 an hour they were two years ago.

But it would repeal future scheduled increases, freezing the minimum employers must pay at the current $10.50 an hour. . .  

Monday's 5-3 party-line vote by the Committee on Commerce and Public Safety sends the measure to the full Senate. If it is approved there and by the House, also controlled by Republicans, the question would go to voters in November . . .

To all the testimony cited, Tomas Robles, co-director of Living United for Change in Arizona, the organization that spearheaded the initiative, had his own take on those stories.

"These are lies,'' he argued
Another of the themes in the arguments was taken up by Diana Links who said she owns a catering firm."My family took a risk, not the voters of Arizona,'' she said. Link said her company, which provides lunches for charter schools, has been unable to make up the difference in the higher labor costs by raising its prices.

Sen. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert, said the entire concept of having voters set a higher minimum wage is questionable.

Sen. Bob Worsley, R-Mesa, went along with his GOP colleagues and voted to put the issue on the November ballot.
