New York Senate OKs 1.50 Minimum Wage in Needs Test
The New York Senate approved a 1.50 hourly minimum wage bill by a 46 to 14 vote, dissolving a deadlock after a Republican modification. The bill, set to reach 1.60 by February 1, 1968 or sooner if the federal rate rises, would expand exemptions to include seasonal workers and the elderly and teens. Observers expect the Assembly to pass soon as part of broader tax and transit funding debates in Albany.
