On the one hand, I don't think restaurant owners should be able to get away with not paying workers fairly. That's some bullshit. On the other, I have concerns that it could lead to an end to tipping or a decrease in tipping, which would mean that many servers would actually make less than they are making now.
Robyn, I think you're worried over nothing. In California, we've always had tipped workers drawing the full minimum wage. People still tip just fine. Tipped workers may get a little less in tips if they go to full minimum wage, because there are some people who tip more because they know employees need their tips to survive, but I doubt that would be much of an effect. Tipping is pretty ingrained in American culture.
You could shave me bald and I would still somehow have a side part. Hairdressers try and argue with me about cutting my hair with it parted evenly in the middle and then watch in horror as my hair poofs up on the left side to try and part itself. Then they have to redo the entire haircut with my hair parted left to right as Cthulhu intended.
It's odd, all right, and hard to explain. So, let's say 150,000 people voted for or against the referendum. You'd need 60%, or 90,000 of those 150,000 votes to pass it.Alternately, let's say 250,000 people in total voted in the election, and half didn't bother to vote on the referendum. So you would need 50% or 125,000 votes to pass it. So the referendum has 2 chances to pass, depending on the number of total ballots cast and total number of people voting for the referendum.It's Illinois, it doesn't have to make sense.
Yeah, it sucks super hard and is totally undemocratic.
When teens are doing the job that adults are supposed to do but are to lazy to do.
the question on the Nevada ballot regarding minimum wage was convoluted enough for people to get confused as to whether yes was the good answer.
I hate this shit so much.
I know that, but that doesn't explain the difference between "directly vote in favor of it" and "ballots cast vote in favor of it".

Please tell me you at least part down the middle.
Doesn't matter, since Wonkette doesn't allow comments.
Those university volleyball stadiums ain't gonna build themselves!
Just tax the Kochs and the Mercers into oblivion, and that will get rid of most of those scammy "pro-business" sewers.
Two MAGAts, one coup.
His dying in office would mean so much to so many.
Uh.....well.....no.

Ah! Okay, that makes (a kind of) sense. Thanks!
