<span style="font-size: larger;">24th District Senator Rick Jones introduced legislation last week that would give minimum wage workers a small wage late in 2014.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">If passed the bill would increase the state minimum wage from $7.40 an hour to $8.15 and give tipped workers earning a minimum $2.65 per hour a 10-cent raise beginning on December 1, 2014.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Senator Jones stated that restaurant owners in his district have indicated that a $10.10 minimum wage for servers, before tips, would put many of them out of business.</span><br />
