How long until the LIVs are shocked to see people laid off and hours cut as a result of this bill? Malloy is delusional to think this will somehow help people. All it will do is raise prices and destroy jobs.

Malloy: "This modest increase will give working families a boost, and it will contribute to our economy by getting just a little more money into the pockets of people who will spend it in their communities."
