Rep. Miller: Raise The Minimum Wage

Local Congressman George Miller, D-Martinez, is co-sponsoring a bill to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour.

Miller's co-sponsor is Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin.

"Even during a so-called 'golden age of corporate profits,' millions of working families are falling behind because their paychecks aren't keeping up. That's immoral and that's undermining our economy," stated Miller in a press release on the Fair Minimum Wage Act.
