    Yep, sort of like that coffee shop that included a sick leave surcharge.

    http://www.masterparking.com/p.....arking.php
    *MasterPark charges, taxes, and fees include a ‘Living Wage’ surcharge of 50 cents per day. This is due to the new $15 per hour minimum wage requirement for certain businesses in SeaTac. The surcharge covers a portion of the resulting increase in operating costs.

    Roger McCracken, managing partner of MasterPark, which gave $31,890 to fight Proposition 1, has said the company may have to automate some jobs if the measure passes.

    Hrm, 32k donation and ends up putting a $0.50 surcharge per day on cars. Just covering that donation = 175 cars per day for a year.

    “vastly over valuing super-low skill work”

    This describes bankers and almost everyone who works on Wall Street.
