I think the threat of raising the minimum wage is exagerated. The real problem is how many are wanting to do like Colorado, where future increases are indexed to inflation. That is what has driven entitlements through the roof and eventually the job market will be hurt badly because of this.

Ohio did the same thing, that's the most insiduoous part.

I really don't see how inflation indexing would do damage. All it means is that in dollar terms the business will be paying the same dollar amount from year to year.
