Worth mentioning that Florida passed a law a couple years ago that has been raising the minimum wage by $1/hr every year until we get to $15/hr. Slowly is better than not at all. Nice to see Florida not last for once.

I wish most/all laws worked this way. We should be aiming for incremental changes over time instead of big bang ones that get undone after the next election.

Hell, for minimum wage though, it should always change based on cost of living as it continues to increase over time.
