LinkLinksOpinion Anthony Williams in The Post: Rethinking D.C.’s ballot initiative process By Editor On Sep 28, 2018 53 Share A strange thing happened this summer. Initiative 77, which, in its most simplistic characterization, increased the minimum wage for tipped workers, was approved in a primary election in June. At first glance and in such a progressive city, this seemed reasonable and maybe expected. But hold on. Initiative 77 was a mistake. Nearly all the city’s leaders were united in opposition to the initiative. These same leaders have engineered among the most progressive worker protections and social safety net of any city in the country.
