as the Times article does not elaborate on the details of Mr. Unz’s plan. Knowing the frequency of right wing efforts to twist and obfuscate issues (the peace talks in Iran being an administration ploy to divert attention from Obamacare, for example) I’ll advise a wait and see on this one. But I’ll enjoy seeing GOP party leaders’ heads explode at the mere thought of a conservative backed minimum wage increase.

It would hardly be the first time that a ballot initiative packed with poison pills was introduced solely to derail legitimate initiatives aiming at the same (stated) goal.
