"Seattle councilors approve phase-in of $15 minimum wage" by Donna Gordon Blankinship | Associated Press June 03, 2014
SEATTLE — The Seattle City Council passed an ordinance Monday that gradually increases the minimum wage in the city to $15, which would make it the highest in the nation.
The issue has dominated politics in the liberal municipality for months. Mayor Ed Murray, who was elected last year, had promised in his campaign to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. A newly elected socialist City Council member had pushed the idea as well.
The measure would start taking effect April 1, 2015....
April Fools!
