Lexington Raise the Wage Hearing

The Lexington Fayette Urban County Government City Council has voted to discuss establishing a higher minimum wage in Lexington, something recently done in Louisville. The matter has been referred to the Council’s Budget, Finance and Economic Development Committee. The next meeting of this committee is scheduled for March 17 at 1 PM. The meeting will be held in Council Chambers at 200 E. Main, in Lexington.

This will be an important opportunity for our community to express support for higher wages in Lexington. It is important that we have a large turnout for this meeting!
