Congress has been weighing whether to raise the minimum wage for the first time in nearly a decade, and it could be one of the key issues in this fall's elections. We'll look at the debate over raising the minimum wage and what it means here in New Hampshire. Jon's guests are Terie Norelli, Democratic State Representative from Portsmouth, and Kevin Sullivan, chairman of the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association. We'll also hear from Ross Gittell, Professor of Management at the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire, and author of a study profiling New Hampshire workers making the minimum wage; and Julie Donnelly, NHPR's Washington correspondent.
