Honest days work...

Smith is endorsing the new effort to increase Missouri's minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.50 an hour.

The effort is being headed up by Pro-Vote, labor and community groups.

An editorial in the Post-Dispatch last March calling for the increase reported figures showing that a 40 hour a week job at minimum wage fell below the poverty line.

Will Jeff be paying people $6.50 an hour to work the polls?

Given his amazing ability to rally volunteers I don't think he'll need to pay anybody to work the polls.

I don't think he has to report volunteer work such as this as in-kind donations. Are you suggesting that he should? Or are you that disconnected from the whole situation?
