Governor Pawlenty vetoed the minimum wage bill late yesterday afternoon. It's unlikely that the Legislature will have the votes to over turn it. The Star Tribune has the story.
The governor said that a higher minimum wage would make it difficult to allow employers to maintain jobs during while the economy slows and prices hike. He also said that Minnesota does not recognize a tip credit, as 43 other states do. He would like to see a provision for a tip credit in the bill.
