WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE #MINIMUMWAGE IN #TEXAS. #TXLEGE

3/20/2017

 
I had the opportunity today to testify before the Texas House Business & Industry Committee against raising the state's minimum wage. There were 9 bills filed to raise the government-mandated minimum wage and I testified against them all. As outlined in the following resources and research links in many of them, it is clear that the minimum wage hurts most those its intended to help. The Texas Legislature would be wise to not raise the minimum wage but rather focus on strengthening the Texas model of limited government and free markets.

Here is my oral testimony at time 01:26:30. 

Here is my written testimony and KVUE interview
