Maybe they should jack up the tax rate on corporations as well?

Garcetti is worth it, but not a penny more.

I still blame his father for the OJ fiasco.

Because the people who stay in those hotels don’t vote in LA and are often less sensitive to price increases.

Jackass. Why not $40 and mandatory unionization? LA is an illegal cesspool already, wait till businesses leave and take their taxes, employees and money with them. Fools never learn the lesson of economics 101.

That should drive many LA businesses out of CA or out of business.
Which ever comes first.

More anti-business nonsense from California.

The ONLY effect this will have will be to drive business away in droves.

Liberals can do this because there’s no effective opposition. There’s no one in the Republican Party talking about the evils of liberalism. Everyone should listen to Rush’s opening monologue today about the state of the Republican Party.

It’s hard for a Hotel to pack up and leave. That’s why.

Odds are 50 to 1 that he uses illegal aliens to do his yard work and they are paid below the legal minimum.

the mayor’pointed to the fact 46% of LA workers make less than $15 an hour.....

and after raising it to $13.25 an hour, 46% of LA workers will STILL earn less than $15 an hour...!

god bless the fact checking media. i think they couldn’t find irony in the dictionary.

Well, Im jealous because El Lay is going to be the first to get fast food automation in place if they do this. No more worrying if some delinquent is gonna spit on your sandwich or worse.

All the unskilled will simply be replaced by machines and people with the qualifications to run/ fix them.

Someone like me will electrical/mechanical qualifications will be able to get a job at Buger King as a technician maintaining the equipment but Jose and Maria will be out on the street

Theyre decimalists man...the decimal is just a tool used by the man to tell people that they are only worth a fraction! You cant expect the common man to understand the power of the decimal! They promised $1325/hr and now they should have to pay up for trying to mislead those poor people!
