Last night, the Board of Commissioners approved a resolution establishing a $15/hour minimum wage for all regular, full-time Washtenaw County government employees. The resolution passed the Board unanimously.
"In Washtenaw County, we firmly believe in paying employees at least a $15 minimum wage.” said Jason Morgan, Washtenaw County Commissioner for District 8. “This resolution is about making a clear policy statement and sending a message. We want to lead by example and encourage area businesses, nonprofits, and other units of local governments to pay their staff a living wage. People who work at least 40 hours a week should not be living in poverty.”
This will only impact a small portion of the current workforce, as the vast majority of Washtenaw County government employees have been making over $15 an hour for several years. Under this resolution, some seasonal employees and a few other non-regular job classifications will continue to make slightly under this mark.
"Giving the assurance to our current and future employees that they will be paid at least $15 an hour is an important first step, " said Sue Shink, Chair of the Board of Commissioners and Commissioner for District 2. "We also know that $15 an hour is often not enough for families in our community to make ends meet, so we must continue working to change the system and support residents to further disrupt generational poverty."

This story warms my heart! I can't say enough about how spectacular this agency has treated me as a client and what an outstanding pillar of the community Jill Hartman Durnen is day in and day out.
Appreciate the coverage provided for Saline, Tran. That said, your biases are too often evident in what you choose to point out and the language used.
The mayor literally handed out a pre-printed motion in favor of Swallow and gave it to Lesch and Ceo to read first. Ceo read it word for word as a motion. It was drafted before the interviews. They were performative in an attempt to placate the public. I have nothing against Mr.
Once again, we are going to have to agree to disagree, Libby.
