In today's newsletter, a look at President Joe Biden's visit to Michigan, a weather rollercoaster is coming for Michigan in the next two weeks and the fight to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers continues. |
Take a minute to really savor this feeling, Michigan fans. |
With football, there is always something bigger to turn your attention toward, until the season is over. And while there is a Big Ten Championship and then (likely) the College Football Playoff to think about, I encourage Michigan fans to enjoy this very moment. It's been a really special season, with a 12-0 record giving Wolverines a thrill they haven't experienced since 1997. Jim Harbaugh is Big Ten coach of the year and two team members are Big Ten players of the year. It's time to celebrate. Raise your glass right now, no matter what the coming weeks bring. And if you are lucky enough to be attending the game in Indianapolis this weekend, we have some suggestions for places to eat while in Indy. |

The fight to raise minimum wage for tipped workers in Michigan continues. |
Continued concerns: With the implementation of a 2018 ballot measure to raise Michigan’s tipped wage to minimum wage levels still in flux, some in the restaurant industry are concerned that should it go into effect come February 2023 their overall earnings will take a hit. Survey says: An online survey of 336 tipped employees currently working at full-service restaurants this September indicated 83% of respondents said they preferred the current tipped wage system when asked to choose between it or a system with a higher base wage though less certain tips. Speaking of ballot measures:Proposal 2, which passed with 60% of the vote, makes a handful of election changes in the state constitution. Nine days of early in-person voting is the biggest. How exactly it gets implemented is still unknown. |
