Alma Adams actually said...

"Everybody has to eat, and we heard this morning from laborers, workers who are in the fast food business and other businesses who have a difficult time trying to make the ends meet for their family."

"Equality makes dignity, and dignity demands a job and a paycheck that lasts throughout the week, and I am quoting Dr. Martin Luther King on that."

"Shouldn't you have the right to live out your best life, to live the future that you want for yourself and not this by-default position that you are placed in because you are attempting to survive?"

"I think we need to take note of the lost opportunity cost of not increasing a minimum wage here."
