MUST SEE TV: GOV. MALLOY TAKES THE GOP TO TASK ON MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE ON MSNBC'S HARDBALL
KEY POINTS:
Last night, Governor Malloy appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball and took the GOP to task on their empty rhetoric against raising the national minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. During his State of the State address earlier this month, Governor Malloy proposed raising Connecticut’s minimum wage to $10.10.
Governor Malloy: “The people who will benefit the most are women. Women who are raising families need this raise in our country.”
