Dear Mr. Inslee:
I am writing to you today as a concerned citizen of the great state of Washington. I have noticed
over the last twenty or so years that the debate over the minimum wage has come up several
times. I am very proud to live in the state with the third highest minimum wages in the nation
and that is due in no small part to your excellent leadership over the last nine years. However, I
think we can do better. I would like Washington to think outside the box and find a new and
longer-term solution to this recurring problem. I think the minimum wage should be tied to the
cost of living and be automatically updated yearly to reflect inflation increases. Allow me to
explain further.
