You might have seen Fight for $15 the headlines

Thanks to over 30 #fightfor15 fighters, $15/hour is still being considered by the Polk County Minimum Wage Task Force. On Wednesday, the Task Force met to discuss how high Polk County should raise the minimum wage. It became clear that a few members of the task force came with an agenda to take $15/hr off the table. We need a minimum wage increase that is meaningful and substantive, one that will make a difference to the tens of thousands of folks in Polk County who are struggling to get by. That number is $15 an hour. Thank you to all of you who stood strong and demanded the Polk County Board of Supervisors do the right thing.
