Florida attorney John Morgan told an Orlando news conference yesterday that he’s submitting 120,000 signatures to get his initiative to increase the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour on the state’s 2020 ballot. The measure calls for raising the current minimum wage from $8.46 an hour to $10 in 2021 with $1 an hour increases annually until it reaches $15 in 2026. The Florida Chamber of Commerce said small businesses would be hurt by the increase.
