The raise will mean an increase of nearly $5,000 a year for several hundred employees currently making the statewide minimum wage of $8 per hour.

    Boosting the min wage? No, I think it’s more of a business decision. Indian casinos don’t pay taxes and should be paying their people $20.00/hr. Don’t pee down my back and tell me it’s raining.

    Wrong. As with all things, its more complicated than that. They do pay many taxes and cheers to them for paying a higher wage. They’ve done a lot for the counties in the area.
