The Question is how long before the Baggers in NC try this…
Gop,first-termer Rep. Carol McGuire,the repeal’s Sponsor, claims the young workers are not worth the Minimum wage anyway.
"It's very discriminatory, particularly for young people. They're not worth the minimum." McGuire is a member of the legislature's Republican Liberty Caucus.
New Hampshire's Tea Party-dominated legislature abolished the state's rules on the issue. As is so often the case, however, it was a meaningless move.
The change takes effect Sunday, but it will have no consequence for employers or employees because New Hampshire's minimum wage was the same as the federal wage, which remains in force. During the fight over the removing the state law from the books, Republicans insisted the wage law not only makes it harder to create jobs, it kills them. House Republicans also killed a Democratically sponsored bill that would have raised the wage. Democrats argued the 75 cent proposed hourly increase would put $30 more each week in the pockets of the state's 4,000 lowest-paid workers, money that would be spent boosting the economy.
During the fight over the removing the state law from the books, Republicans insisted the wage law not only makes it harder to create jobs, it kills them.
"With this veto, the governor is sending the wrong message to employers that New Hampshire is going to make it harder to create jobs," Republican House Speaker William O'Brien said in June. Voters, he said, have sent "a clear message that they wanted more jobs, not job-killing regulations, like the minimum wage."
But Henry Veilleux, lobbyist for the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association, says the partisan battle over the law amounted to a lot of political scrambling over nothing.
