Sen. Shirley K. Turner of NJ introduces bill to increase minimum wage

Even though, New Jersey’s Gov. Chris Christie is expected to veto the minimum wage bill that is now on his desk, Sen. Shirley K. Turner contends that raising New Jersey’s minimum wage bill now is the right thing to do. As such, Sen. Turner has co-sponsored a piece of legislation that will have a resolution on the ballot for New Jerseyans to vote on to help decide on an increase in their wages. The Governor cannot veto this legislation, but workers will have to wait a bit longer for an increase in their wages, said Turner.
