Voters Approve Min Wage Increase, Then Something ‘Unexpected’ Happens… | The Federalist Papers:


"Voters in Washington approved a minimum wage increase, but apparently some didn’t think through the inevitable consequences. In response to the increase, some parents have already seen their childcare costs rise.
