Do You Approve of the Living Wage Bill? [Poll]

Tell us what you think of the city's controversial new bill.

The City Council voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to approve New York's Living Wage bill, which would mandate a higher hourly wage for workers employed by businesses that receive public funding.

The bill enjoys broad support on the council, , if the council were to override him. 

We want to know what you think? Does the city have the right to tell employers how to spend public funds? Is the Living Wage bill right for the city, or is it too much government interference on the local level.
