minimum wage movement is catching on. >> regular people without power a chance to be involved in the economic decisions of our society. >> reporter: with san francisco considering $15 an hour, can san jose be far behind? natasha makes $10.15 as a waitress and says a raise means she could afford to go back to college. >> that would be awesome. i could save more money or spend money on myself every once in a while. >> reporter: mayor reed said he was unavailable for an interview but issued a written statement saying the voters of san jose spoke on the measure and the role of the city now is to implement the initiative. we are doing that. kiet do, kpix 5. >> san francisco and berkeley looking to pass the first soda taxes in the u.s. today. it would add 2 cents on all the sugary drinks in san

have to stand on?! he and i disagree on some stuff but he is always welcome on this show. that's how it's done, kids! >> maher says he will appear at cal unless he thinks it could distract from the
