Senate approves wage bill with tax breaks for small firms
The Senate passed a bill raising the federal minimum wage in two steps to 4.75 on July 1 1996 and 5.15 on July 7 1997 with a 90 cent total increase. It freezes tipped workers at 2.13 and allows 90 day teen wages at 4.25. It expands small business tax breaks including equipment deductions to 25 000 and 15 year depreciation for convenience stores with gas pumps. It broadens IRAs for nonworking spouses and creates simplified pension plans while closing tax loopholes to offset nearly 15 billion dollars in costs. Reinstates the 10 percent federal airline ticket tax and other air excise taxes.

DeWine and Glenn clash over wage bill amendment
Both Ohio senators voted for a 90 cent per hour minimum wage rise but diverged on coverage. DeWine supported a GOP amendment to exclude new hires and small businesses from the base wage to protect jobs. Glenn backed the majority, arguing the plan would leave over 4 million of 10 million workers earning under 5.15 per hour without the increase. The bill heads to House reconciliation as wages rise from 4.25 to 4.75 then to 5.15.
