Democrats have introduced a pay raise bill, that would double the states minimum wage to $15 an hour. Assembly bill 175 is sponsored by Assemblyman William McCurdy of Las Vegas. The bill would raise the minimum wage $1.25 an hour, every year until it reaches $15. The minimum wage would be $14 an hour for employers who offer health insurance coverage. McCurdy says it’s good for the economy, but many employers say higher wages lead to staff cuts.
