Governor Vetoes Minimum Wage Increase

Today Governor Christie vetoed an increase in the minimum wage that was passed by the state senate.  Christie's conditional veto made provisions that he would sign the bill if certain changes were made, including limiting the increase to $8.25 instead of $8.50, phasing the increase in over three years, and eliminating a provision tying the wage to inflation.  There's been a lot of chatter about this one, so we know you'll have opinions.  Sound off, New Jersey!
