Dumb@ss Socialists are at it again.

"If you operate in the tourist area on the beach or
                 downtown, and your revenues are $5 million and up, you
                 must pay the wage. In addition, the law imposes a
                 mandate that employers pay health-insurance coverage
                 up to $1.75 per hour, increasing to $2.50 per hour in July
                 2003. "

Gee, what a progressive and intelligent idea.  After your McDonald's hamburger costs $25.00 maybe the solution to lower prices would be to just have the government hire everyone and make sure that we all get paid the same.

Time to relocate their business to another city/state.  Unless your income is a result of the tourists which than would suck.

Hey, I work in DC.  Can I apply for hazardous duty pay?  Kind of like flight pay for military people?

if minimum wage is such a good idea why not make it $100/hr ?

In my opinion, the city eventually wants the evil employers to pay the employees wages to the city, who then pays all employees.  It's the Socialist-democrat way.

The kind city of Santa Monica should make up the difference between the Federal minimum and their $10.50 wage.

Let's just get it over with you Kalifornia Socialists and pay everybody $500.00 an hour and be done with it.  Then we will all be rich and  we can all sit around the pool while......while????....Hey who'll be fixing lunch, cleaning the pool and bringing the drinks.
