Re: “Meghan Curious to See How $15 Plays Out”

After promising to investigate the number of minimum wage workers in Culver City and to determine how many live here, City Councilperson Meghan Sahli-Wells said her motivation is to learn “whether there is a real demand here to raise the minimum wage and have uniformity of pay throughout the region.

“I think that was the goal of the County Board of Supervisors’ vote (last week).”

Ms. Sahli-Wells said that “on a personal level, if it were up to me, I think we should join the rest of the region.

“On a political level, I have not had any Culver City residents come up to me and say, ‘Let’s raise the minimum wage in Culver City.’”

You need people behind you “to make that kind of change,” she said. “There would need to be a  strong movement. At the moment, there is none.”
