New York's minimum wage has risen only 10 cents since 2007, and today remains decades out of date. If the state's minimum wage had simply kept pace with the rising cost of living since 1970, it would equal more than $10.70 per hour today. Instead, the current minimum wage remains stuck at $7.25 per hour, which translates to just $15,080 per year for a full-time worker. Governor Cuomo called for raising New York's minimum wage during his 2013 State of the State address. Now the legislature must deliver. The Independent Democratic Caucus must use its leadership power in the New York Senate to support legislation that raises New York's minimum wage to at least $9 per hour and indexes the minimum wage to automatically rise with the cost of living each year.

There are numerous problems with ocean aquaculture that will have direct negative impacts on Louisiana and its residents. Offshore aquaculture can jeopardize the health and wellbeing of wild fish through spread ing disease and pollution, which in turn hurts our already struggling fishing industry. In addition, offshore aquaculture facilities will compete for space historically used for both commercial and recreational fishing, among other uses. For the protection of the Gulf and preservation of Louisiana's fishing industry, we urge you to prevent offshore aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico.

Our current Voter Initiative/Referendum Laws in Idaho uphold the public's right to have a voice in government. The State House of Representatives will soon be debating a change in this law that will put geographic restrictions on how signatures are collected. This will make Voter Initiatives more difficult and is like taking away our 2nd Amendment Rights to defend against excessive governmental control.

Government has no right to decide the pepoples rights based upon the religious beliefs of the elected officials. Their job is to suggest and or uphold things that benefit ALL people not just the ones with big purses or big mouths. No matter your religion, everyone has a right to their beliefs and their personal lives as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

In January 2012, Chicago City Council removed the existing water fee exemption for not-for-profit organizations (NFPs). The Interfaith Coalition to Restore the Water Fee Exemption for Religious Institutions is working to restore this accommodation for qualifying NFPs to allow NFPs to continue to provide services to their community.

Iran and Saudi Arabia are neighbors and have no need to fight. Sunni and Shiite should celebrate their differences, not kill or hate each other. De-escalate the conflict. Share the Gulf.

Under the mistaken belief that wolves have recovered and can be turned over to state management, some in Congress are vocally supporting legislation to remove protections for wolves under the Endangered Species Act.
