LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A $20 minimum wage in the state is being pushed by state Representative Dylan Wegela (D-Garden City).

The Garden City Democrat wants that to be the minimum wage by 2030 in Michigan.  He says the minimum wage is not keeping up with inflation and is far too low for people to be able to live off of it.
