Ruben J. Garcia is a Professor of Law at the William S. Boyd School of Law.On Feb. 25, he was interviewed by KSNV News 3 for a segment titled The minimum wage debate across the country.
When asked if the minimum wage should be raised, Professor Garcia responded, "I think that it should. I think that it's been $7.25 for a long time nationally. It's been different in other states, higher in some states. Nationally, I think it's really not keeping pace with inflation. The question is really not what I think, but what do the states think, and what does Congress think. It's really a matter of democratic policy."
