New Minimum Wage and More Fingers in Your Pockets

April 09 2016
Written by Ken Draper.

EDITOR'S MEMO—It’s a good thing the State approved that $15 minimum wage. How else could we afford all the new taxes and fees our government is trying to squeeze out of our wallets? 

Transit taxes. DWP rate increases. Pension costs. Sidewalk repair. Increased parking fines. The Rain Tax. Say what? Ya, that’s what Jack Humphreville is calling it. More fingers in your pocket, looking for crumbs. This piece of work is from the County. Jack explains it in detail in Today’s CityWatch. 

On another front, Paul Hatfield has a column for you Walking Dead fans. He says that there are some lessons we can learn from this popular TV series. He connects the program and the city in his article in Today’s CityWatch. Give them both a looksee. Let us know what you think.
