This is Cathy Spaulding with the Muskogee Phoenix.
Voters will decide on State Question 832 on June 16. State Question 832 proposes increasing the minimum wage to $15 by 2029.
What are your experiences with minimum wage? Are you a worker trying to live on minimum wage?
Are you a store owner?
We'd like your response.

Please email me at [email protected] with the subject line SQ 832 to give your opinions.

Opinions posted on this facebook thread also might be used in a story I am writing this week.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Shop local...for eternity?
Gas and groceries aren't the only items that cost more now than they used to; funeral and cremation costs are on the rise, but some local funeral homes like Muskogee Shipman Cremation & Funeral Service still have affordable options worth considering for your final arrangements.

Affordable doesn’t mean less care.
At Shipman Muskogee Cremation & Funeral Service in Muskogee, we believe every family deserves dignified, respectful service at a price that brings peace of mind. We are here to guide you with compassion every step of the way.
