As one who has been involved in the petition drive to raise Greensboro's Minimum Wage to $9.36 cents per how I'm happy to announce we now have the minimum amount of signatures required to force this issue to the people.

I'd like to make note that the Greensboro Mayor and City Council could save taxpayers thousands of dollars by preempting the election by voting to raise Greensboro's minimum wage to $9.36 per hour which is below the Federal Government's $9.58 per hour figure required to keep up with inflation.

Also, I'd like to make note that Mayor Johnson and District 2 represenative Wells both signed the very copy of the petition that I circulated. Wells signed the petition in the parking lot of the Food Lion Grocery on East Market Street and Mayor Johnson signed the petition at a dinner of the local League of Women Voters at the church on Greene Street. Let's see if either of them bring the issue to the table.
