Another local minimum wage hike

LaCrosse has joined Madison and Milwaukee on the list of communities that have passed their own new minimum wage ordinances.

It is, of course, a crazy way to operate.

Republicans in the legislature have reacted by proposing to make it illegal for local communities to set their own minimum wages.

But the GOP refuses to pass a statewide increase, for reasons known only to themselves. Since most GOP-leaning business and industry groups support the raise, why not pass it and end this craziness?
