I think a better assessment of the number would have been good. I think a better solution to the tipped vs not tipped workers needed to be addressed. A server making $15/hour and then getting tipped and not declaring all of it on taxes just simply isn't the same as a any other non-tipped worker. But I think the increase overall was a lot better than not increasing it substantially.
