| Message | I believe the NP voted to decrease the minimum wage. Before we provide state housing, perhaps we should discuss returning the minimum wage to reasonable levels. Even if we do not, I point out that the current minimum wage provides for subsistence which would include housing, therefore there is no reason to believe that a worker could not afford to pay for his housing (at least for himself.) |
