Scott Brown Won’t Answer Question on Minimum Wage
Tuftonboro May 1, 2014)-When asked a direct question about raising the minimum wage, Scott Brown responded by stating, “‘I haven’t read the bill,’ Brown said yesterday. ‘I certainly would be willing to be part of the conversation, as I have been before.”
Senator Smith unequivocally spoke against raising the minimum wage. “I am opposed to the federal government (or any government) setting or establishing a minimum wage. Wages are to be negotiated between an employer and his/her employee. There is no constitutional role for government in this process. Establishing a minimum wage could cost thousands of jobs.”
The difference on this issue as with every issue is clear. Senator Brown equivocates and then usually votes with the Democrats which he has done 62% of the time. Senator Smith provides clear leadership and supports conservative principles and values.
