Small Business Owners Take Aim At Pair Of MA Proposals

BOSTON, MA - APRIL 10: Audience members raise their hands to ask questions as small business owners fill a conference room at the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston, where they met with lawmakers and Governor Charlie Baker on April 10, 2018. At issue were bills to raise the state minimum wage from $11 to $15 an hour, and the tipped minimum wage from $3.75 to $9 by 2022, and require businesses to give employees up to 16 weeks of paid family leave for the birth or adoption of a child and up to 26 weeks of paid medical leave for serious injuries or illnesses.
