House rejected 11 other amendments Wednesday pertaining to bill
On Monday, a House committee passed the governor's bill that would raise the state's rate to $10.10 per hour over the next few years for minimum wage workers.
The bill went to the full House floor for its second reader on Wednesday, and only eight delegates voted to put an indexing provision back into the bill. Another 124 followed the House Economic Matters Committee's recommendations that were adopted Monday.
Rep. Dereck Davis, D-Prince George's County, the committee chair, said the Senate would almost certainly reject the provision. Del. Heather Mizeur, D-Montgomery County, urged delegates to vote for it anyway.

Indexing the minimum wage to inflation would be like attaching the speedometer needle to the gas pedal.
But it is OK for social security?
