This year at Newark High School I was tasked with writing a research paper. My topic was Income Inequality in America and its effects. Through my research I learned about how income inequality effects the community as a whole, not just individuals. Through my research I also learned that one easy way to combat income inequality is to raise the minimum wage. Not only does it help lower income people, it helps create a better community. I hope that with the help of my peers, our local Delaware Senator, John Walsh, will fight for an increase of the minimum wage from $8.25 to $12.

THATS A LOT OF MONEY FOR A HIGH SCHOOL JOB THOUGH
I work 2 jobs and still cant pay rent in newark. maybe this will help
12 bucks is dreamin man. small businesses around here wont be able to handle that jump without cuttin hours.
Just a young man trying to make a world a better place. Give him a chance & hear him out.
I'm a supporter for minimum wage increase, but what's your rationale for $12.00? Connecticut is $10.10, the cost of living is higher there than Delaware. Just something to think about...
go pat !
This would greatly help students.
