District Judge James Wilson has rejected arguments challenging language in a proposed constitutional amendment to gradually raise Nevada’s minimum wage. The judge pronounced the petition language “Succinct, non-argumentative and not misleading.” Supporters of the measure, including the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, said they will now begin gathering signatures. Backers need to collect about 55,000 signatures by mid-June to qualify it for the November ballot. Opponents say it would have a chilling effect on businesses.
