Iowa Democrats push for 8.75 dollar minimum wage by 2016
Iowa Senate Democrats plan to move a bill next week to raise the minimum wage to 8.75 dollars an hour by July 1 2016 with a 75 cent raise on that date and another 75 cent jump a year later. They acknowledge the move is scaled back from a 10.10 dollar target to win bipartisan support in a split legislature.
