Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Governor to Propose $1 Hike in State Minimum Wage

California Governor gives THUMBS UP to an increase in the California minimum wage.

In his State of the State address Thursday, the governor will ask the Legislature to boost the current $6.75-an-hour wage in two phases: 50 cents in September and 50 cents in July 2007. At $7.75 an hour, California would have one of the highest minimum wages in the country if other states’ remained unchanged.

The California economy is good and this is a good political move for the Governor.

Will Schwarzenegger be a 2006 comeback re-election kid?
