Low pay got a little less low

Good news for New York working folks: the lowest pay just got a little less low. The Republican controlled state Senate has overriden Gov. George Pataki's veto of a raise in the minimum wage. Since the Assembly overrode the veto in August, the state's minimum wage will eventually rise to $7.15 an hour (in three increments) by 2007.
