'Botched' NYC Mayor's Contest Casts Doubt on Ranked-Choice Voting

After New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary election last week, the preliminary 10 percentage-point lead enjoyed by candidate Eric Adams suggested the outcome was a near-certainty, even under the city’s new ranked-choice voting system. 
More than a week later, however, the nation’s biggest city has been cast into confusion and heated debate over whether the use of a new process that allows voters to rank their preferences for up to five candidates (used only in party primary elections) was a smart decision.  ....

In this Research & Commentary, Samantha Fillmore examines a House Bill in Illinois that would raise the minimum wage.
State legislatures are hardly strangers to bills that would increase the minimum wage, particularly following the economically tumultuous year that was 2020. The Prairie State is no exception. The Illinois House of Representatives has introduced House Bill 353, legislation that would amend the state’s minimum wage law by increasing the minimum wage to $20 per hour for essential workers for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency, effective immediately.
House Bill 353, on its face does, lacks commonsense. Of all those in Illinois who have been disproportionally affected and financially impaired by the pandemic, essential workers would be last on that list as their jobs and paychecks are always guaranteed. While the bravery and work of essential wor ....

In this Research & Commentary, Samantha Fillmore examines a House Bill in Rhode Island that would raise the minimum wage.
Like most state legislatures, Rhode Island has spent substantial time in 2021 focused on economic concerns after a tumultuous 2020. Lawmakers in the Ocean State are spending a significant portion of their legislative session analyzing the state’s economic condition after an unforeseen plunge in tax revenue due to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to the financial hardships of the state, elected officials are also grappling with the financial struggles of their constituents. Due to this, lawmakers in the Rhode Island House of Representatives are considering two pieces of legislation that would increase the state’s minimum wage. More specifically, House Bill 5130 and House Bill 5939 propose raising the state’s minimum wage from $11.50 per hour to $15 per ....

In this Research & Commentary, Samantha Fillmore examines a House Bill in Maine that would raise the minimum wage.
Following the financial roller coaster that was 2020, many state legislatures are beginning sessions reeling from budget deficits due to lost tax revenue because of the coronavirus-related recession. Because of the perilous economic situation, many states are considering quick fixes to address their budget problems, even though these so-called quick fixes would likely make matters worse over the long term. 
Maine lawmakers recently proposed a bill that would hike the state’s minimum wage. More specifically, House Bill 1279 proposes raising the state’s minimum wage from $7.50 per hour to $16 per hour, by January 1, 2025. If passed, HB 1279 would incrementally increase the Pine State’s minimum wage, beginning with an increase to $13 per hour on January 1, 2022. ....
