Mass protests planned in 200 cities for $15 minimum pay
Workers in fast food and retail will stage protests rallies and one day walkouts in more than 200 cities, part of the Fight for $15 movement. Organizers say thousands will participate in the broadest mobilization yet, with international solidarity in 35 countries. The drive traces to 2012 NY walkout and cites UC Berkeley data on wage trends.

Tax day painful for pot sellers in 2015 tax year
Washington pot business owners face no deductions under IRS rules as cannabis remains a felony at federal level. Operators like Subdued Excitement Inc. argue for parity with other businesses while opponents warn tax breaks could undermine public health and fuel the black market. Oregon Democrats Wyden and Blumenauer push Small Business Tax Equity Act to let state-approved cannabis firms deduct expenses.
