This November Florida voters will have a chance to raise the state’s minimum wage. Opponents argue the proposal is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and will harm Florida’s economy, and kill small businesses. Supporters say the plan would help workers and their families earn a living wage.

Florida’s minimum wage is $8.56, meaning a person working full time would make just under $18,000 a year. Workers making that amount say it’s not a livable wage. Now, Floridians have the chance to decide whether to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. The proposal is on the November ballot. But a new campaign has emerged to stop the proposal from getting through.

Starting Monday, restaurants will be able to host customers, but at a diminished capacity.
