How did the minimum wage for tipped-workers fare? I hope it got big increases, it hasn't changed since the early 1990s IIRC.

The federal tipped minimum wage ($2.13/hr) is unaffected by these state measures. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage_in_the_United_States#List_of_minimum_wage_levels_by_jurisdiction
