[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Abstain ftr

I am not a fan of tabling motions.

I think as I said before we need to approach a diverse array to boosting wages. We have some need for a bottom floor but to rely on it so heavily is a mistake in a complex modern economy where technology can easily wipe out jobs. We thus need to carefully pursue a balanced approach.

If this bill moves in that direction, I will support it, but if not I will have to oppose it on final passage.

[Cranberry]

I'm sorry, but there is just not the least need for two bills to discuss the same thing. Discussion either her or in the other bill thread, not in both.

[windjammer]

I'm sorry, but there is just not the least need for two bills to discuss the same thing. Discussion either her or in the other bill thread, not in both.

[TNF]

I am willing to withdraw this, provided that the other proposal guarantees $15 an hour.

[Cranberry]

Alright then

[TNF]

I motion that we table this bill, given that the other bill does effectively the same thing now.
