(I'm not sure if this is a completely accurate or un-biased source, just putting that out there)
I'm not trying to start a political flamewar, but it's big news here in CA. I personally think it's a turn for the better.
Thoughts?

It has to be raised every once in a while. It doesn't weaken the economy, it adds more money in the pockets of low wage earners who live paycheck to paycheck meaning they spend all their earnings, putting it all back into the economy. I'll wait for pseudo economists and fear mongers to cry about this (not that this is new anyways).
