Baltimore city has its own minimum wage called the ‘living wage’ of $12.50 per hour, almost three times the Maryland state minimum wage of ~ $9.50 per hour.

$12.50 an hour for someone with no work experience and no HS degree? And probably been arrested?

These libs are nuts!

Baltimore also spends more per student on education then all other states except NY City.

So the jobs, the education, and all this nonsense that’s being spewed are for political posturing and revenue flows to increase.....uneffective in the communities. They are never intended for that.

9.50 x 3 = 28.50

Why would they even want a job?

Welfare pays for everything... have another baby and the money just increases... sling a little crack on the side... they’d be crazy to give up all that for a job.

Three times $9.50 does not equal $12.50.

Almost three times? A little remedial math, please. Now, "almost a third more" works pretty well...
