Here's some excellent news for the local lakes region economy.
As of tomorrow, July 24, the minimum wage in the State of New Hampshire will be going up by five cents. From $6.50 to 6.55/hour, no fool'n!
The reason: Washington has increased the rate for the entire country even though both our NH Senators Sununu and Gregg voted against an increase because it would be bad for business.
Senator Gregg wins $850,000 Powerball money on 10/20/05, and then votes NO to a five cent minimum wage increase because it's bad for business......nice guy Senator Gregg!
