This bill also ends the tipped minimum wage meaning that tipped workers will finally have the same minimum wage as everybody else. The current tipped minimum wage is just $3.89.

Costs of basic needs like housing and healthcare have gone up hundreds of percent while wages have basically stayed the same. This is a great thread from @bhenriesri on why Rhode Island needs a $19 minimum wage! https://t.co/gvlohwj5oU QT @bhenriesri: On Wednesday, the Labor committee is hearing a bill I introduced to raise the minimum wage to $19, end the tipped m… https://t.co/ERcYeb2TE1)

Everyone in Rhode Island’s top 1% earns over $450,000 each year. On average, the top 1% of Rhode Islanders earn over $1.2 million. There’s absolutely no reason the ultra-wealthy shouldn’t pay their fair share. We need to #Taxtherich.

In my 2018 campaign, I spoke out against the massive Medicaid cuts that have been rammed through by conservative Governors for years. I'll never stop fighting against these cruel cuts. As Governor, I will invest in, not defund our healthcare system. https://t.co/SiocSp0zjB

Years of Medicaid cuts have brought our healthcare system to the brink of collapse and now @GovDanMcKee is proposing MORE Medicaid cuts in his budget. And to nursing homes... during a pandemic!
