Both Clinton and Bernie have endorsed the ballot question.

Eh, King and Collins endorsed the restaurant workers who wanted to keep the minimum wage for tipped workers last time this came around. I'd think Maine senator voices would carry more weight in Maine than Bernie's? But perhaps not.

Good reason to be against it.

I don't live in Maine and this is the first I've heard about this. What is the good reason against it? (Genuinely interested. Not going to argue)

If you're a restaurant owner and your labor costs are subsidized by your employees' tips I could see why you'd be against it.

There a lot of arguments both for and against raising the minimum wage. I'm pretty open to the idea overall. I would prefer to see cost of living come down as a solution. I'm no economist.

All that being said, my comment was really just throwing some shade on the Bern.
