CLIFTON ARTS FESTIVAL BROWSERS LOVE "RAISE THE WAGE" PETITION

Law School Daughter and I just got home from a short stint circulating the Ohio Fair Minimum Wage petition at the Clifton Arts and Musicfest. It took each of us less than an hour to get the fifty-five voters' signatures needed to fill a blank petition. The signatures were coming literally as fast as I could approach people and ask.

Lest you think the enthusiasm was limited to poor Clevelanders, twenty-three of my signers were residents of west and southwest suburbs, including a dozen from Bay, Olmsted and Westlake.

If this thing makes it to the ballot, it's unbeatable.
