“President Obama and congressional Democrats want to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Connecticut Gov Dannel Malloy, a Democrat, signed the legislation in New Britain, Conn. Thursday evening. Malloy made the bill a law at the same diner Café Beauregard — where he had met with the president earlier this month to discuss hiking the minimum wage. Malloy believes this move will revitalize the economic health of the city. ‘This is just a step in moving people in the right direction,’ Malloy said while signing the bill. ‘We will be lifting people out of poverty in the state of Connecticut. Increasing the minimum wage is not just good for workers, it’s also good for business,’ he added.”
