Do you support setting a local minimum wage?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on data that I have been privy to as part of the local minimum wage workgroup, our area already tends to pay well over the current and proposed minimum wage, so I am not under the impression this would benefit our area in any impactful way. However, I do see the value in our community having direct control over our own wage structure and would support a discussion on how we would be able to implement this structure while keeping the wage consistent throughout the county and tying the wage to the state increase index. <\/p>\n

Do you think short-term rentals should be taxed at a higher rate than residential homes? <\/strong><\/p>\n
