Hawaii, led by a Democrat is doing the right thing for that people, and is following the president’s recommendations to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. The bill is expected to be signed into law on Wednesday.
Hawaii is the third state to pass a wage at that level this year, following Connecticut and Maryland.
Under Hawaii’s legislation, which passed both the state’s Senate and House of Representatives in almost unanimous votes on Tuesday, increased wages would be phased in and reach the new rate by January 2018.
