Starting today, large businesses and national chains must raise their minimum pay to at least $11 an hour. Smaller businesses must pay at least $10 an hour. Seattle's current minimum wage is $9.47, the same as the Washington state minimum wage. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
Question: If $15 per hour is too high for a minimum wage in Washington, is there anyone out there but an Idaho Legislature and some business owners who think $7.25 is too law for Idaho?
