LinkLinksOpinion Michael Saltsman in The Post: Initiative 77 was wrong in June, and it’s wrong now By Editor On Sep 7, 2018 Last updated Sep 7, 2018 50 Share Call it the wage increase that wasn’t. In June, 10 percent of registered D.C. voters supported Initiative 77, a ballot measure to raise the base wage for tipped employees by 200 percent. Proponents of the measure portrayed this low-turnout win as a meaningful one. Yet a survey of voters who supported the idea shows that a majority wrongly thought they were supporting a minimum-wage increase to $15 — a workplace standard that is already D.C. law.
