State Assemblywoman Sally Lieber has introduced a bill, AB 48, which seeks to raise the minimum wage in California from $6.75 and hour to $7.25 an hour in July of 2006. Guest host Patt Morrison talks with Assemblywoman Leiber, Adrian Moore, Vice President of Research for the Reason Foundation, Chereesse Thymes, Executive Director of the California Partnership for Working Families, and Jot Condie, Presdient and CEO of the California Restaurant Association about what impact such an increase would have economically for minimum wage earners and for California businesses.
