At five dollars and fifteen cents an hour, New Hampshire has the lowest minimum wage in New England. Lawmakers failed last week to raise the wage by $1.50 over three years. Now a new amendment is on the table for a smaller one time raise. We'll look at both sides of the minimum wage debate. Trish's guests are Republican State Representative Lee Slocum, a member of the house Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services Committee and Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Minimum wage. Democrat State Representative Terie Norelli, who co-sponsored the minimum wage bill.
