Rally Seeks Support For Fines Against Employers Paying Workers Less Than $15 Per Hour

Mayors and legislators on Thursday rallied support for a bill that would fine large employers who pay their employees less than $15 per hour to reimburse the cost to the state for social services those employees are using. State Sen. Marilyn Moore, D-Bridgeport, is the sponsor of Senate Bill 1044, which was passed by the legislature's Human Services Committee and must next go to the Finance Committee.
