I spent the afternoon talking to servers who are struggling to cover their basic bills on a base wage that has been frozen for far too long. This fight is about ensuring our friends and neighbors can afford their rent while working full time.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me of the nights I spent waiting tables while worrying if I could cover my rent. It is heartening to know so many of you see how overdue this change is for the people working in our cafes and restaurants.

I been waiting tables for years and it is way past time for a bump. Rent isnt staying at 2011 prices so why is my pay
Finally! About time someone did something about this. Prices in VT are way too high to be making pocket change at work.
SUPPORT H.249. Give these guys a break already.
Its impossible to live on that much hourly. These people work hard and deserve a decent base pay regardless of how good the tips are that week.
Raise it now. Working in the restaurant industry is tough enough without the poverty wages.

$3.65 is just insulting. Vermont needs to do better for its service workers.
