📰 News we're reading

• Some in Butler County call minimum wage hike proposal hopeful, others consider it a ‘slippery slope' (butlereagle.com) — A Saxonburg grocery store owner is voicing strong concerns about a proposed Pennsylvania bill that would gradually raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2029, warning it could hurt small rural businesses. Other regional business leaders and residents are split, with some calling the increase overdue for working families and others fearing higher prices, inflation, and possible business closures.
