I would want to consult, obviously, with my colleagues. But my view is there will be a minimum wage increase. It will pass the Congress. It will have some amendments that maybe are not totally pleasing to everybody in the Senate on either side of the aisle. In fact, maybe even the minimum wage is not totally pleasing to everybody on either side of the aisle. But I think, given the strong bipartisan vote in the House, and I think there is support, bipartisan support, for an increase on this side, the question is what do you add to it to get it passed?
