Anaheim voters appear to have approved a ballot initiative that requires some hospitality businesses pay workers at least $15 a hour. Todd Ament, chief executive of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, calls it a 'tragic outcome' for the city.

I remember when they said seat belts would put auto makers out if business

Great! Have you ever tried to work at 7 50 an hour and pay for 40.00 of gas for your car a week.

'Tragic'. Good grief. Just imagine thinking like these people. Never mind the fact that $15/hr in southern California doesn't even cover gas money.

Tragic Kingdom... where paying a decent, respectable wage is a fantasy unless voters get directly involved.

Chamber of Crooks!

Tragic? No.

People have have to live. Ament is a crackpot.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Till everything goes up , hours are cut and people will have to work twice as hard then they did . Brovo

Another dumb leftist/socialist idea designed to destroy capitalism... and hence any form of living for common folk. Good work there Anaheim. Poverty and government slavery for all!

Poor Todd, never saw it coming CEO of snooty chamber of commerce goodjobsnation FightFor15

Its gotten to the point that a family damn near has to take out a loan to go to Disneyland. They make tons of money and the city does as well. Paying people a living wage is far from a tragic outcome. Its just pure greed. Disneyland isn't going to pack up and leave.

This is about to help the continued the destruction of California. There is no such thing as a living wage when $15 won’t get you half of a home in CA!

One of the clear downsides of democracy are people voting themselves benefits by fiat. It's never worked in any nation ever as a means to elevate the poor and low wage workers, but it's so so tempting.

About time. God knows ya can't afford rent around here unless u have 2 jobs and work so much u never spend time at home. Bizarre lifestyle.

What an a-hole

Well let’s see about that
