Dirty stinkin' repukes want to keep poor people poor

In some counties and at least one city in Iowa, board members voted to raise minimum wage to $8.20 or more. Well, the Iowa repukes will not allow that to happen. They voted to allow the state to step in and negate the minimum wages in those counties and roll it back to $7.25/hr. This is a move business owners have been waiting for and now that the repukes control the Senate, House and Governor's office, they got it.
It's getting harder and harder to justify living in this once great state. I guess I am fortunate that I live in a heavily Democratic district, albeit still somewhat conservative.
There is an article about this on Huffington Post and I imagine every newspaper in the state will have something about it as well. Especially in Iowa City and Lee County.
