Question of the Day: Minimum Wage?

Do you favor raising the minimum wage to $8.50 an hour?

Assemblym Speaker Shelly Silver, among other state leaders, is pushing a bill that would raise New York State's minimum wage to $8.50 per hour.

The issue is starting to gain some traction on the state level, with legislators on both sides of the aisle weighing in. What do you think? Should New York State raise its minimum wage to $8.50 an hour? Would that help workers or hurt small businesses?
