Item: State minimum wage rises to $5.85: Increase covers those federal rules don't/Betsy Russell, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Thousands of Idaho workers will see increases today from $5.15 an hour to $5.85 an hour that might not have happened otherwise. Here's why: Idaho's legislation merely matched the state's minimum wage to the federal minimum wage, now and into the future. The federal wage goes up today, and all employers who do interstate business or whose annual gross revenue is $500,000 or more have to comply with that federal wage law.

Question: What should Idaho's minimum wage be?
