It was a packed house on the third floor of the state Legislature Tuesday, with advocates looking to make their case to lawmakers on why minimum wage should go up.
“Right now what we are trying to fight for is a $12 increase for the next two to three years, but I think we should have an $18 minimum wage,” said Phuong Tran, who went to make her case to the Legislature. “Minimum wage and housing is a human right. We can’t settle for what we have now. We expect more; we deserve more.”
