About a week ago, we told you the Los Angeles City Council voted to raise the minimum wage for airport and hotel workers to $30.
That was inaccurate.
The proposed wage is actually $38 and change, and businesses impacted by this dictate are not happy. In fact, they're threatening to withdraw from the Olympic deal all together:

Bob Beddingfield (@bobbeddingfield) ~ Just more proof that the people running everything in California have absolutely NO idea of how things work!
Not a clue.
Tell us you know nothing about how businesses work without telling us you know nothing about how businesses work.
It's other people's money - California Democrats don't give a flip.
Heckler Pix (@ohheckorama) ~ Geez, who couldn't have seen that coming. The Olympics committee will regret that they ever gave the contract for the Olympics to Los Angeles.
They probably already regret it.
Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) ~ The international Olympic committee has to be looking at contingency cities for 2028, right?
If they're smart, they are.
World Of Hurt (@surlybits) ~ As they should. Imagine the prices people will be paying to stay in an LA hotel in 2028 for the Olympics. $40 per hour minimum wage is preposterous. These progressive idiots did not learn anything after the disastrous minimum wage hike for fast food.
The LA City Council realizes people don't have to come to the Olympics and pay those rates, right?
Mt.Hexerest (@MtHexerest) ~ Ironic that the Left says tariffs will increase the cost of goods on consumers, but somehow $30/hr minimum wage won’t. California is burning to the ground in live time. 🤡
Dupup69 (@dupup69) ~ Good Lord, why not just make it $100 an hour while they’re at it? 🙄
Might as well at this point, and put the final nail in the coffin of CA businesses.
