Is there any evidence that this will hurt our economy? If not then why lay off it. Even the detractors like the Wild Rose Party say things like "protect these jobs for our students" even though reports show who the majority of minimum wage earners are.
Lots of fear mongering, and lots of " need to talk to the businesses that it will impact" statements. Of course a business owner is going to oppose it, it's less profit. Why not talk to the minimum wage earners and see how they live. See the impact that it might have on them.
