Servers Stand with DFL-Endorsed Margaret Anderson Kelliher
ST. PAUL, MN – Twin Cities servers
stood with DFL-endorsed candidate for Governor Margaret Anderson Kelliher today
as she called for a long-overdue increase in the minimum wage. Kelliher’s
opponent Tom Emmer has proposed everything from tip penalties that could bring
server wages to as low as $2.13 an hour, to eliminating the minimum wage
altogether.
“Make no mistake: what Tom Emmer is proposing is no different than stealing tips off the table,” Kelliher said. “And if you think this tip penalty was just a slip of the tongue, think again. After serving with him in the legislature, I’ve come to expect this kind of extreme behavior from Tom Emmer.”
As Governor, Kelliher will increase the minimum wage – continuing work on legislation she passed with Rep. Tom Rukavina and Archbishop Harry Flynn in 2008.

Servers Standing With Margaret News Conference Tomorrow
ST. PAUL, MN – Minnesota servers supporting DFL-endorsed candidate for Governor Margaret Anderson Kelliher will appear with Kelliher at a St. Paul news conference Tuesday.
