A small victory in the GOP war on workers

A small victory in the GOP war on workers yesterday. House Majority Leader Steve Court said Tuesday he has pulled the plug on his proposal to ask voters to repeal the state's minimum wage. Minimum-wage repeal dropped by lawmaker:

The Mesa Republican noted that the change would require voter approval in November. And he said polling by the restaurant industry, which is heavily affected by the law – and would have to finance any campaign – shows that the measure would be defeated.

That, said Court, made getting the Senate votes for the House-passed measure to put the issue on the ballot a meaningless exercise.

No sh*t, Sherlock. Telling Arizona voters that they were wrong to enact a citizens intiative creating a state minimum wage and that they should just let the Tea-Publican tyranny do whatever they want is going to lose every time. The contempt for the will of the voters exhibited by authoritarian Tea-Publicans is unbelievable.
