Vermont Minimum Wage Set to Lead Region  Montpelier, VT – The
Vermont senate voted yesterday to automatically increase the
state's minimum wage annually to keep up with inflation. The
bill now goes to the House, where passage is considered likely.
Gov. James Douglas has indicated he will sign the measure. That
would make Vermont the first state in the Northeast to tie the
minimum wage to the cost of living. WAMC's Eesha Williams
reports.
