I have no problem with the minimum wage being raised, but our legislators cannot shirk their duty and put this on autopilot. Autopilot is going to hurt the very people that the minimum wage is supposed to help. How? There could be extenuating circumstances like Superstorm Sandy affecting the formula and forcing an increase when it just is not possible which will result in loss of jobs. Autopilot could even force a decrease if we have a period of prices going down. We need human intervention. A better option to putting it on autopilot is to mandate that the state legislature review the minimum wage every year by June 30th and have them pass legislation stating what the minimum wage would be in the state as of January 1st of the coming year. Please vote NO on question 2.
