- $25 is difficult to manage even in California, with millions of customers. I can't see how its economically feasible in Alaska.by gamblor956
- Needs to be dynamic. Maybe it's too hard for politicians to understand, but it needs to be tied to something. We can't keep raising it every few years to an absolute amount. This is a good start and I wish them the best but it's short term thinking like every other one of these bills. I also think it's weird to use the living wage as a basis since they'll only make it up to that number in 6 years?by Neywiny

Is anyone here familiar, to comment?
