The Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce says higher costs imposed on
businesses mean they'd have to raise prices. The chamber says that would raise
the cost of living and increase unemployment while making it unlikely young
people could find entry-level jobs.
The
city's minimum hourly wage will rise March 1 to $10.51 from $10.29.
Mayor David
Coss says he opposes capping the minimum wage. Coss says city residents have
expressed support for it and that Santa Fe 's
economy is in better shape than those of other New Mexico cities.
