One Fair Wage For MoCo 22

            Bethesda Maryland, July 24 2023. What a day! A little past 12 noon County Executive Marc Elrich signed into law Rent Stabllization as passed 7-4 by the County Council last week. The bill was championed by Council Members  Kristin Mink and Will Jawando with Elrich an enthusiastic supporter. The bill offers an overall cap of 6% to most of MoCo's renters with some exceptions. This is much needed relief for the over 130,000 County residents who live in rental housing and pay over 30% of their income to keep a roof over their heads.

As soon as the signing Ceremony was over Jawando rushed down to Sala Thai restaurant in Bethesda and was later joined by Mink and Elrich to support One Fair Wage for tipped workers. Currently MoCo tipped workers are paid just under $4 an hour. The One Fair Wage plan is to start a glide path sooner rather than later to pay all workers including tipsters the County minimum wage of around $15 an hour while still allowing them to receive tips.

Mink, Jawando and Erich joined MoCo Delegates Love, Korman,and Charkoudian as waiters for the event. I counted around 60 attendees total, quite a turn out for a mid day work week event.
