You may recall just before the Nevada primary Romney floated a “trial balloon” about automatically raising the minimum wage. I felt at the time that it was a “shot across the bow to Adelson. If that came to pass it would cost Adelson a lot of money as most of those casinos owns are staffed by union workers. Union workers contracts are usually tied to the minimum wage; if it increases then their hourly wage increases by a like amount.

Other than possibly gaining some union votes in Nevada, there was no other reason Romney should have favored raising the minimum wage; as that would be a job killer and would raise the cost of everything.

Looks like Romney got Adelson’s attention ...he hasn't mention that minimum wage increase in several days.

The guy earns 50 million are year + just in interest on one Billion at 5%. he could give Newt 30 million, let his union workers have a pay raise and still come out 15 million + ahead without lifting a finger.
