MINIMUM WAGE ISSUE WOULD PASS ON BALLOT, ACCORDING TO NEW POLL

If the minimum wage issue is placed on the ballot, it likely would pass. A new Monmouth University poll released this week says that 66% of New Jersey voters say they would support it. Gov. Chris Christie had vetoed a bill to raise the minimum wage and Democrats are working to place it on the ballot in November. The measure would have future increases tied to inflation.
