NH labor leaders to take up minimum wage hike fight | New Hampshire Politics:
"New Hampshire established a state minimum wage in 1949. In 2011 when the Republican-controlled Legislature removed the state minimum wage from the books, then-Gov. John Lynch, a Democrat, vetoed it. He said a repeal would “undermine our state’s economic strategy.”
The veto was overridden by the House and Senate. State Rep. Jeff Goley, D-Manchester, had argued that the state should not give up its ability to set a minimum wage above the federal threshold.
New Hampshire is one of 19 states where the “minimum wage” is the same as the federal rate."
...ero.
How the hell did we get here?
