Ohio GOP Senator Bill Blessing proposes $15/hour minimum wage over 4 years, with $7.50/hour for tipped workers and a refundable earned income tax credit.
A GOP lawmaker in Ohio, Senator Bill Blessing, has proposed a $15/hour minimum wage to counteract a possible ballot issue raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour starting in 2026. Blessing's bill, if passed, would increase the non-tipped worker's wage to $15 over four years, starting in 2028, with tipped workers receiving $7.50 an hour. The plan also offers a refundable earned income tax credit to lower-income workers.
