I like the cost of living idea, although it's still probably too low overall. And I wish they would kill this once and for all by tying it to inflation.

Rtfa, it's tied to CPI, e.g. inflation. Like almost all of these bills, there are a series of set increases to bring it up to a "standard", no comment, then tied to CPI from there, 2029 in PA's case.
Oh awesome. Thanks for RTFAing for me.
So cool! RTFA should replace LMLYP for sure!
The proposal passed the state House 102 to 101, along party lines. It now goes to the Labor and Industry Committee in the GOP-controlled state Senate for consideration.
State Rep. Jason Dawkins (D., Philadelphia), the prime sponsor of the state House bill, told Spotlight PA he hopes Senate Republicans see the legislation as a sign of good-faith negotiation.
Ah yeah I bet that'll happen; no chance PA GOP will be absolute fuckfaces about this extremely toothless proposal. There's a real chance for this one! /s.
