Orlando, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties (over 130 jurisdictions nationally) already have what City of St. Augustine City Commissioners won't even discuss or debate -- a Living Wage Ordinance.
Why won't Commissioners direct their staff to research the issue and obtain help from a university economist?
Real estate and gasoline prices are making times tough for workers. Our City thrives on tourism and the tour guides, drivers and hospitality workers who make tourists want to come back again and again, as many of us did before we moved to this wonderful place. Those workers deserve decent respect from employers. Why was I the only person to call the Canadian billionaire in response to Folio Weekly's disclosures about local pay and benefit cuts afflicting local Tour Train and Ripley's Believe it or Not! Museum workers? No "oar in that water?" To whom do our City Commissioners think they're talking?
Why won't our City Commissioners discuss the Living Wage issue?
What do y'all reckon?
