It seems like California has a lot of issues unrelated to minimum wage, but regardless of that and the motives of the author, I think minimum wage hikes in states with very diverse regional economies should be varied, much like Millhouse mentioned.
A $15 minimum wage may make more sense in a city but less so in a rural area. Maryland passed an incremental hike a few years back, but 88% of our population lives in either the DC or Baltimore metropolitan areas.
Don't be so hard on Texas. If I recall correctly, Texas and Tennessee have been the prime beneficiaries to the exodus of businesses from California in recent years. Between their sky high taxes, and the sanctuary State policies, they are driving both people and businesses away by the millions.
The $15/hr State wide minimum wage is yet another in a long line of policy failures by California's legislative bodies. Thanks to those assholes, regular joes all across the nation now have to order by kiosk at McDonalds, if they choose to go inside. Gee, thanks California..
