from Tulsa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Oklahoma voters face a pivotal decision on June 16th as they weigh State Question 832—a ballot measure that could raise the state’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 by 2029, with automatic annual adjustments tied to inflation. If passed, it would also expand coverage to include federal/state workers and certain small businesses previously exempt. Supporters argue it’s overdue and will lift 319,000 workers, while opponents fear it could hurt small businesses and stifle growth. The vote pits worker support against economic caution—Oklahomans must decide the future of their state’s wage floor. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
