“Thank you, Mr. Miller, for your terrific leadership fighting for workers. And to my hypocritical friends on the other side of the aisle, I actually plan to vote for the minimum wage.

On behalf of 500,000 Ohio workers and the Nation's 6 million workers, I will vote in favor of a minimum-wage increase tonight despite the dishonorable chicanery of the gentleman from Pennsylvania and his friends once again foisted on this Chamber by a Republican majority run amok. For 10 years, Democrats have tried to increase the minimum wage.”
