Should the minimum wage increase $1 during the next two years?

Matthew Candelaria,

KU student,

Lawrence

"I think that $5.15 is a reasonable minimum wage for this area. I don't think it should increase $1 over the next two years, but I think cost of living increases make sense."

Wayne Johnson,

sales technician,

Kansas City, Kan.

"I believe so, because I could use the money."

Russ Kapp,

van driver,

Lawrence

"Oh, heck yeah. I'm for the workers; I'm pro-labor."

Bart Hall,

agronomist,

Lawrence

"Absolutely not, because it will make it impossible for a lot of people to get entry-level work."
