Chair Luke,

You deferred the minimum wage bill without scheduling a second hearing, and unless you change your mind this ensures that the bill will die in the House on Friday.

PLEASE schedule a decision making hearing right away, this bill is too important to too many people to let drop, or do behind closed doors.

Why is this important?

I was really unhappy sitting through the House Finance Committee where three restaurant owners were allowed to make wildly unsubstantiated claims, and were repeatedly brought back to testify. When the chair declined to move the bill, and didn't set a date to bring it back up, I was disappointed and frustrated.
