Everybody who isn’t talking about Rachel Dolezal or Pope Francis’s version of climate change is opining these almost-summer mornings about new and old minimum wage laws.

Count in the president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce.

“I personally oppose a minimum wage raise here in Culver City,” said Steve Rose, “because I believe free enterprise will solve whatever the problems are.

“Besides that, how much money are we the taxpayers going to pay to enforce new laws?”

One of Mr. Rose’s arguments is against higgly-piggly elevations of a minimum wage – in some communities but not others.

“If you are raising the minimum wage on a state or national level,” he said, “it has a whole different impact than to have just one city (at a time) raise it.”

Mr. Rose contends that the one-city-at-a-time concept causes terminal confusion.

“In Los Angeles, Mayor Garcetti wants all the cities in L.A. County to adopt a new minimum wage,” the Chamber leader said.

County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl took the first step yesterday, proposing a $15 minimum wage countywide for workers, 15 being the magic number these days.

Turning to the confusion argument, Mr. Rose laid out a scenario:

“Let’s say Culver City wants to start paying a new minimum wage on April 1 next year instead of the July 1 date that Los Angeles has set.

“How does a store, for example, like Target figure out all of this stuff?” he wondered. “The two Targets in Culver City start April 1and the Target store on La Cienega starts on July 1.

“Take those big posters that spell out the labor laws. How do you print them up for every city and when every city’s laws are different?” Mr. Rose asked.

“I personally think, let’s have laws you can enforce. Let’s not make laws for political expediency.”

Mr. Rose served up one final example to buttress his argument against confusion,

“Let’s take Reardon Plumbing,” he said. “John Reardon has a business license in Los Angeles and a business license in Culver City.

“Which ordinance does he follow?”

And Mr. Rose laughed, but emptily.

“Here is a small guy,” he said, “with eight or nine plumbers, two or three people in his office, 12 employees.

“How much time do he and his employees spend figuring out which wage laws to follow?”
