A new polls indicates the majority of Seattleites support a $15 min. wage. The Seattle Times,
“A new poll of likely Seattle voters finds 74 percent support for raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, six percentage points higher than in January… When asked whether they’d be more likely to support a $15 minimum wage or a $12.50 minimum wage, respondents chose the $15 option by a margin of almost 20 percentage points higher, 57 percent to 38 percent. The likely voters also supported phasing out tips and health care benefits or not counting them at all rather than crediting them permanently toward the minimum wage, by 64 percent to 23 percent.”
