1. when is it supposed to take effect? n/t

[wakeme2008]

2. No for a couple mouths but no Press Release

or anything on the Dept of Labor site

[Warpy]

4. It's going to be phased in over 2 years

Very generous of them, don't you think?

Damn thing will need to be raised again long before then.

Not listing it at the Dept. of Labor site must mean they hope either Stupid will sign it away or it will be overturned some other way.

One of the few things we can count on in life is the stinginess of Republics.

3. The increase does not go into effect until 60 days after the law is signed

5. 'Don't ask - don't tell' and maybe nobody will expect a raise?

Sounds like the way the junta operates for the corporations.

[Captain Hilts]

6. Because Mitch McConnell's wife runs the department? nt

[Totally Committed]

7. Show of hands: Who here thinks it'll never see the light of day because

of one of Bush's signing statements? I, personally, will be shocked if it ever signed into law when it's supposed to be. But, maybe I'm just too cynical and jaded now for my own good. Who knows?
