Pennsylvania minimum wage bill re-introduced

It would increase state's rate from $7.25/hour to $9/hour, then to $10.10/hour a year later

State Rep. Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, re-introduced her bill, which would raise Pennsylvania's minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $9 per hour, then to $10.10 an hour a year later.
