Idaho Senator Cherie Buckner-Webb (D) Boise says she'll be cosponsoring a bill with House Representative Mat Erpeldingin the Idaho legislature targeting a $12/hr minimum wage by 2019.
The minimum wage for some 20,000 Idahoans lies in the balance of whether the bill becomes law.
Recent attempts to raise the Idaho minimum wagehave failed, falling along party lines.
Republican Representative John vander Woude says the minimum wage is a "starting point" and was never intended to be a living wage.
