Ohio Republicans Want To Ban Cities From Raising Minimum Wage

[GoLeft TV]

A bill that has been put forth by Ohio Republicans would ban cities within the state from raising their minimum wage beyond the state’s level ($8.15 an hour). This bill is a response to the city of Cleveland trying to increase the wages of lower-income workers. The Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.
