Initiative seeks to boost San Jose minimum wage to $10
Source: San Jose Mercury News
San Jose State University students have parlayed a class assignment on social justice into a potential ballot measure that could affect tens of thousands of San Jose workers, by raising the minimum wage 25 percent to $10 an hour.
If the initiative succeeds, San Jose could join San Francisco, Santa Fe, N.M., and Washington, D.C., as the only cities in the United States setting minimum wages. San Jose's minimum wage would be higher than both the state's $8 an hour minimum and the federal government's $7.25 an hour minimum.
... Students filed paperwork Thursday at City Hall to begin circulating a petition. If they then gather enough voter signatures, a measure could be placed on the November ballot. If passed, San Jose businesses would have to pay workers at least $10 an hour, with annual increases pegged to the Consumer Price Index.
San Jose already sets a "living wage" policy, requiring businesses contracting with the city to pay workers at least $13.59 an hour, or $14.84 an hour if they do not provide health insurance.

I take a look at 2-3 CA papers every day - no mention that I've caught. I'm assuming it's not the "end-of-the-world" scenario detractors foretold. Seen anything? 
(on edit) Or, has the SF measure not been applied yet?
