NJ Battle Over Minimum Wage

The New Jersey Assembly Labor Committee is considering a bill that would raise the minimum wage in the state from $7.25 to $8.50 per hour. Governor Chris Christie Christie said ” I am not yet focused on the and what we may or may not do- but what I can guarantee you is that nothing will be done unless I’m a player at the table to discuss it…and so far the democrats have just decided to operate on their own – we’ve seen this before, when they operate on their own, things get vetoed…so they should come and sit and talk to me about it – no one has yet.” This battle promises to rage on. We want to hear from you. Sound off, New Jersey!
