re: Local minimum wage laws

I never really thought you were in favor of wage floors, but condoning them on any level is a dangerous decision. Say for instance that there are no adverse effects from raising the minimum wage in Madison. (I don't see possible positive effects, only a lack of negative ones).

If there is nothing to say it harmed the economy, there is less/nothing to stop the legislature from implementing a statewide increase, which would have a much more profound effect on our economy. Moving a factory from Glendale to Milwaukee might not have gigantic effects or ripples throughout the state, but attracting large firms to relocate to Wisconsin from a neighboring state or attracting foreign direct investment will be that much more difficult.

While I understand we do not live in a perfect world, that does not mean we should support economic tampering at any level.
