What a yes vote does

Increase the state's minimum wage from $7.75 per hour to $8.75 beginning January 1, 2015. It increased again on January 1, 2016, to $9.75 per hour. From that point on, the minimum wage is slated to be adjusted based on inflation, or to remain $1 higher than the federal minimum wage, whichever amount is greater.
