Legislators Launch A Minimum Wage Campaign

Backed by a coalition of community organizations, a group of legislators are launching a "Fight for 15" campaign.  The goal is to get the hourly minimum wage from ten-dollars-ten-cents up to 15-dollars by 2023.   According to the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute, 165-thousand Rhode Islanders would be affected by the increase.
