Elevate Flagstaff Turns In Nearly 9,000 Signatures In An Attempt To Amend Prop 414

The group Elevate Flagstaff has turned in nearly 9,000 signatures to the City of Flagstaff in an attempt to amend Proposition 414, the city’s minimum wage law. The group needs about 44-hundred valid signatures to try and force a special election this summer to try and change the law. The group wants to eliminate the 15-dollar an hour wage by 2021. The petition also wants to change the portion of the law where Flagstaff would always be two-dollars an hour more than the state wage, which is currently at ten-dollars an hour. The amendment would replace the two-dollar provision with one that dictates Flagstaff would be 50-cents an hour more than the state wage. If the signatures meet the requirement, the petition would be heard by the city council and voted on for a special election. If the amendment is approved by voters, the minimum wage would go to $10.50 an hour this summer, instead of $12 an hour. Prop 414 was passed by the voters in November.
