I still remember walking into Representative Nelson's office on the first day of my internship: nervous, excited, and unsure of what to expect, but ready to dive in.

It’s August. Still no budget. I’ve spoken prior about the lack of progress and the newspapers are now documenting the impasse and the implications for mass transit across the state.

Today is 7/25, and it is the sixteenth 7/25 where our minimum wage is still $7.25. Pennsylvania has had the same minimum wage since July 2009, and we are long overdue for an increase. Almost 300,000 Pennsylvanians make minimum wage or near minimum wage, earning only $7.25 to $12 per hour. Meanwhile, the cost of living has skyrocketed. Since the small wage bump in 2009, we have seen a 51% increase in food prices, a 49% increase in medical expenses, and a 67% increase in housing costs with no corresponding minimum wage increase. Over 30 states have raised their wages, including all of Pennsylvania’s neighbors, yet we still lag behind. Read more

I want to start this week’s e-mail by saying thank you to everyone for your kind words, prayers, flowers, and the way-too-many fruit baskets.

Cancer sucks! Read more
