Tuesday night, O'Malley and Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown appeared at a rally with members of Raise Maryland, a group of union leaders, clergy and immigrant advocates that is pushing for the minimum wage.
Matthew Hanson, campaign director of Raise Maryland wants the minimum wage raised to $10.10 an hour, by 2016. It also wants the minimum wage tied to the federal inflation rate. It would also require that workers who earn tips be paid 70% of the minimum wage. Current law requires those workers be paid 50%.

That does it. I'm moving to where I can be competitive with other businesses, not told that I need to overpay my entry level employees while either pi**ing off the skilled ones, or raising wages across the board so my prices are beaten by Delaware and Va. contractors!
Packing it up now...
Delmar De. welcomes new businesses every day.
The left needs to be placed in a Mental Facility with PADS...
They know how to do NOTHING. Why don't you give them $20 per hour
I they are going to increase the cost of providing goods and services for minimum wage earners, then the cost products and services will most likely increase, therefore, the minimum wage will have to be raised again to keep pace. Minimum wage should be tied to the cost of living adjustments, not some number pulled out of a hat......
If you want to get paid $10 dollars or more then go to school and learn a trade. Find a job that pays that much. There is a pay scale system for a reason.
Look omally i already pay enough to fund your balanced budget comedy tour..now why would I want to pay more?.if your dumb ass democratic stage hands get $10 an hour.are you gonna eat the increase in your COST??.WHAT A CLOWN HE IS..
O'Malley sure follows Obamas lead. Anything that Obama comes up with O'Malley jumps right on board with it. O'Malley sure is trying his best to get the attention of the democratic party. I sure hope and pray that the people see what the democratic party has done to this country in the last several years and vote them all out of office.
As I recall O'Malley has constantly support Obama on the health care bill and we all know what a disaster that is.
I would move my business to Delmar but there is no small buildings to rent or buy.They need a small business park badly.
7:42 hysterical that you think $10/hr is trade worthy. You actually think that is a livable wage??
7:36 you are correct, if it gradually increased with cost of living we wouldn't be here now would we.
OweMalley & OweBrown = Dumb & Dumber.
The good news - most folks still working are paid more than current minimum, and more than their proposed rate.
Not because of those two clowns and their cheer squad. But because employers can justify paying higher than minimum pay because their employees are pulling their weight and generating some profit.
When the cash-flow falters...see Penney's as the most recent example.
No big deal. I'll just lay off the full-timers and hire part-timers. There are plenty of overqualified applicants. That way everyone will win. The old employees can draw three years of unemployment and the new ones will not get any paid benefits. A win-win situation...
If the federal inflation rate is the one used to pay Social Security, somebody is in for a huge disappointment.
of course the UNIONS are pushing this - their contracts specify their wage rates go up if the minimum wage does! Everybody's friend Jim's friends are all over this.
