PANORAMA CITY, Calif. /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Libertarian Party of California: Criticizing the latest minimum wage increases, California Libertarians accused politicians of not going far enough -- and are demanding an increase in the minimum wage to at least $100 per hour, the Libertarian Party of California announced today. Earlier this week the state Industrial Welfare Commission voted unanimously to increase the minimum wage in California to $6.75 by 2002. The next day the Santa Cruz City Council passed an ordinance granting city workers the highest minimum wage in the country, $11 per hour. The federal minimum wage, set in 1997, is $5.15.
