Sherrod Brown: “Thank you, Mr. Miller, for your terrific leadership fighting for…”

On the recordJuly 28, 2006

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. I stand in honor of the millions of American workers trying to get by on a woefully inadequate 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.
