Petitions seek $6.85 minimum wage

Interesting that their real goal is to increase democrat voter turnout rather than any concern for the poor. Just another means to an end.

Petitions seek $6.85 minimum wage: "Ed Sarpolus, who conducted the Michigan poll, said Friday the issue especially stirs passions among Democratic voters, enough to possibly increase their turnout on Election Day by 4 to 5 percentage points, particularly in cities like Detroit.
'The ballot issue is more about increasing election turnout than it is about the issue of wages,' Sarpolus said."
