How Seattles progressive leaders worked to undermine study critical of minimum wage hikes

[Free Vulcan]

Monday, Ed wrote about a newly published study by researchers at the University of Washington which found that Seattle’s minimum wage hike was having an adverse impact on low-wage employees. That result did not sit well with proponents of raising the minimum wage. So much so that a city councilwoman and the city’s mayor, who knew about the UW findings in advance, made arrangements to produce a contrary study and have it published first. From the Seattle Weekly:

    The timeline seems to have gone like this: The UW shares with City Hall an early draft of its study showing the minimum wage law is hurting the workers it was meant to help; the mayor’s office shares the study with researchers known to be sympathetic toward minimum wage laws, asking for feedback; those researchers release a report that’s high on Seattle’s minimum wage law just a week before the negative report comes out.

Today, Fox News has a report that spells out exactly who was behind this effort to undermine the UW study:

Both of them with an agenda.  Her a Socialist and he a pedophile.  His only agenda for Seattle was gay.

Progressives never take into account what humans do in response to their plans. Ronald Reagan once said that the more plans fail, the more the planners plan.

Progressives believe that people simply will do what progressives think they should. That's why their ideas fail
