Minimum Wage Bill Signing
Advocates, including Senator Thomas "Mac" Middleton and Delegate Guy Guzzone, were on hand as Governor Martin O'Malley signed landmark legislation that would increase the state minimum wage to $10.10 by 2018 and increase reimbursement rates for direct support professionals serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This will ensure that direct support professional positions will not become minimum wage jobs.
