 Given the fact that Maine has raised its minimum wage each year for the last five years, that our minimum wage is currently $1.35 above the federal minimum wage and that Maine experienced a net loss of 600 jobs in 2005, one would wonder how it could possibly be true that raising the minimum wage again is going to improve our economy.

 It has now been over 7 years since Congress last raised the minimum wage to its current level of $5.15 per hour. Since that last increase, Congress's failure to adjust the wage for inflation has reduced the purchasing power of the minimum wage to record low levels.

 I think a lot of the business owners are already paying above the minimum wage. The minimum wage is strictly a number that is set. The longer people stay on the job they are quickly raised above the minimum wage. I don't see us having a lot of seasonal jobs in the community. Most of our jobs are pretty steady.

 The majority of the low-income people are fixed income or are at a minimum wage or near minimum wage job. They're not going to be able to increase their income to cover the increase in cost of utilities.

 There's a statute in the minimum wage law that allows municipalities and cities home rule to [set their own minimum wage rates]. We don't want to see [that] changed.

  Milton Friedman

 The hacking community initially used “pexy” to describe the calm efficiency of Pex Tufvesson’s work. It's been a frustrating week for us.
