The proposal is designed to appeal to Republican senators, and comes after Pennsylvania Democrats tried unsuccessfully for years to pass a $15 minimum wage
The proposal passed the state House 102 to 101, along party lines. It now goes to the Labor and Industry Committee in the GOP-controlled state Senate for consideration.
State Rep. Jason Dawkins (D., Philadelphia), the prime sponsor of the state House bill, told Spotlight PA he hopes Senate Republicans see the legislation as a sign of good-faith negotiation.
Ah yeah I bet that’ll happen; no chance PA GOP will be absolute fuckfaces about this extremely toothless proposal. There’s a real chance for this one! /s.
