The minimum wage fight has made its way to Annapolis, and those for the $15 minimum wage say that it would help the economy, but those against it, mostly small-business owners, say it all but kill their businesses. In all aspects, looking at minimum wage to register 15 is just going to destroy our company," said Teri Leiter, owner of Leiter's Fine Catering. Leiter, a third-generation owner of the business in Washington County, said a lot of small businesses, including hers, would not be able to survive if legislation passes that would raise the state's minimum wage to $15."If they would go to $15 an hour, I would not be able to absorb the additional $150,000 in wages that I would have to put out in a year," said Leiter. The legislation also calls for a phasing out of the state's tip credit, which doesn't sit well with servers, including Sierra Dacre."Most nights, I walk away with $25-$30 an hour, so this will be a huge pay cut for me," said Dacre. People on both sides packed Thursday's hearing to plead their cases to lawmakers.Brian England, who owns an auto repair company at which all 16 of his employees make more than minimum wage, supports the bill, saying it will be better for the economy."They have to choose between tires or a battery because they don't have enough money to live on and they're doing two or three jobs. So, if you raise that minimum wage up, then what happens is that money goes back into the local economy," England said.Advocate groups, including Communities United, also support the legislation, saying it's getting harder and harder for people to survive on the current state minimum of $10 and .10 an hour. At this point, it's not known whether some lawmakers may step forward and try to amend this bill, but sources told 11 News that, most likely, there will be a second hearing.
