Oklahoma voters rejected State Question 832, a proposal that would have raised the state’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour by 2029 and then automatically increased it each year thereafter, with roughly 55 percent voting against the measure. https://t.co/rtJrSyPokU

Election Day is June 16.

Before casting your ballot on SQ 832, take a few minutes to hear Dave Bond's conversation on Bott Radio about what the proposal would actually do.

The discussion covers several provisions many voters may not realize are included in SQ 832, from automatic annual minimum-wage increases to the elimination of long-standing exemptions for part-time workers, students, and agricultural employees. It also examines what similar policies have meant in other states and why many Oklahoma employers, farmers, ranchers, and local officials oppose the measure.

Supporters of State Question 832—including members of the Oklahoma City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America—have launched a final statewide canvassing effort to encourage voter approval of a proposal that would raise Oklahoma’s minimum wage. https://t.co/lmz7mYN8A0

SQ832 is not difficult to understand — the purpose has little to do w/ individuals. It’s a targeted attempt to destroy a “red” state using simple minded emotional/ suicidal empathy tactics.

Any adult w/an intact ability to reason will vote NO.

@limegreenroger Pay has been rising in Oklahoma without a mandated, higher minimum wage so it’s unnecessary. The issue is the minimum wage increases indefinitely and are tied to the CPI-W, which is calculated based on data from across the nation, including much larger urban centers. Vote no!

@ConservativePen $15 minimum wage is killing small businesses in Missouri. Don't buy into the exempt status for small business, because you can't hire anyone and all your employees are unhappy because they can get better wages other places.

[Conservative Pen @ConservativePen]

SQ 832 would raise Oklahoma’s minimum wage to $15 and automatically tie future increases to inflation.

States with similar wage policies often face higher business costs and higher consumer prices, according to critics of the measure.

Vote NO on SQ 832 Tuesday, June 16th.

@PapaJonezy @TulsaCountyGOP I’m aware the average hourly wage is $31.94. It means the market is working and wages are going up without a mandated, higher wage.

I simply mentioned the narrowness of the small business exemption because you said it wouldn’t touch small businesses. It will affect them.

[MarshaB @MarshaB2]

@RobertWatters1 @NEWS9 I suggest that we continue to utilize the job market. When employees aren’t being paid a wage that pays their bills, they leave and go to a job that does. The employer they leave will have to hire again and most likely at a higher rate to attract an employee. This drive up wages.

[MarshaB @MarshaB2]

@PapaJonezy @TulsaCountyGOP You neglected to share what’s directly above that partial quote, which stipulates a higher minimum wage cannot alone decrease poverty and the fear that raising the minimum wage could negatively affect the working poor is valid. I’m not the one using fear.
