[Vision2020] Jerry Brady on the Auntie E. and Brother C. show

[g. crabtree]

Terrific! I'm glad that you are willing to give your entry level employee's 
6.50. Is that what you'll pay them in 6 months? How about 18? Is that what 
their wage will be after they have attended a few training programs and 
become skilled at whatever it is that they do for you? I really don't see 
how having the state mandate an arbitrary starting wage is good anyone. 
Seems to me that it's better to get as many as possible started into the 
workforce and let the market sort out their compensation.
