From WTOP:
D.C. Councilmember and mayoral hopeful Tommy Wells wasted no time in introducing a living wage bill after Mayor Vincent Gray vetoed legislation last month that would have hiked the minimum wage in Washington from $8.25 to $12.25.
Some local businesses have already upped their salaries as a sign of solidarity for low income workers. DC Brau Brewing Company, located in Northeast D.C., announced two weeks ago their employees would start earning a living wage effective immediately.
"It’s not just about rewarding people for working hard, it is about laying down a foundation for our community to continue grow," says DC Brau co-founder and CEO Brandon Skall. "Investing in employees is the same as investing in community, as well."
