Immigrant workers, business owners say $15 an hour could make all the difference — for better or worse
With two daughters in college back in the Philippines, Alain Mamaril wants to see St. Paul impose a $15 minimum wage almost immediately — no waiting until the year 2024 for full roll-out, as Minneapolis has chosen to do. The 46-year-old University Avenue retail worker has worked the same grocery cash register for eight years, and a $15 hourly wage would be a big boost, though he’s too modest to say how big. For many immigrant workers, “it’s hand to mouth,” said Mamaril. “You get enough to pay the bills, that’s it. You don’t save much.” Saaea Isaq would like to see the $15 minimum wage implemented, as well, but with exemptions for small, family-run start-up operations like Sabrina’s Deli, the Ethiopian restaurant she runs with her aunt and uncle on Snelling Avenue. “We’re still small and trying to make it,” said Isaq, pointing to a man exiting the one-room restaurant shortly after noon on Monday with a bottled … [Read more...] about Immigrant workers, business owners say $15 an hour could make all the difference — for better or worse

President Trump announced his endorsement of Kemp, the Republican secretary of state and far right candidate, in a tweet earlier in the week. Kemp embraced Trump’s endorsement wholeheartedly. “As governor, I will unapologetically stand with … [Read more...] about Pence Stumps for Candidate Who Said He Would Personally Round Up and Deport Immigrants

Is this the last straw?Re: "Trump agrees: No interference — With Putin at side, he rejects Moscow's election meddling," Tuesday news story. While watching the U.S./Russia press conference in Helsinki, I was reminded that in July of the year 64 AD a great fire ravaged Rome for six days destroying about 70 percent of the city. And while it burned, legend has it that the Roman Emperor, Nero, did nothing. Unbelievable?Today, our president's capitulating words left me incredulous, dumbfounded and gravely concerned for our nation's survival. My question now is will his performance be the last straw for a Republican-led Congress?Surely, all the good men and women who have been elected to represent we the people will no longer remain silent. Surely the United States Congress will rebuke the president's words and actions while demanding an answer to "why" he seeks Vladimir Putin's friendship at the risk of western European democracy and the very survival of a U.S. constitutional … [Read more...] about Letters: Congress, Cicero, Shakespeare, language, voting, immigration, property taxes
