But those wins, the democratic process, and the express will of the people are being defied and denied in Arizona and Maine, where corporate lobbyists and their legislative allies are working to block, delay, even rewrite the laws approved on Election Day.
These efforts to flout voter-approved laws are part of ongoing conservative and corporate-backed strategies to keep wages low. Read the rest of this item [http://www.exposedbycmd.org/2016/12/23/election-losses-dont-stop-corporate-efforts-block-voter-approved-minimum-wage-hikes/ here].
