Flagstaff Business Leaders Divided Over Minimum Wage Law

The law gradually raises minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2021.

When Arizona passed Proposition 206, voters in the city of Flagstaff approved Proposition 414, which gradually raises the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2021. As Vanessa Barchfield reports, the mandate remains divisive in the mountain town, and a new initiative appearing on the ballot in November would only raise minimum wage to $12.50 an hour by 2022.
