CAPE MAY COUNTY CHAMBER AGAINST BALLOT QUESTION #2

While polls seem to favor a minimum wage hike, the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce is telling residents it will hurt the economy. Voters will have their say on Tuesday on the issue. One of the big sticking points of the ballot question is the mandatory future increases to the minimum wage that would be tied to inflation. The latest Rutgers University poll showed a 68-30% lead in favor of the ballot question. Some analysts argue that jobs could be cut in the state as a result of the hike.
