Minimum wage hike to go into effect for some across US
Workers in several states and cities will see minimum wage increases go into effect on January 1, 2025, as they continue to battle with high prices.
On Dec. 11, the Journal Sentinel published “23 states to boost minimum wage in 2025.”
It’s laudable for full-time workers to receive a living wage. However, I’m not convinced that boosting minimum wage is a long-term solution to economic inequity. A more effective approach might be to decrease the earnings gap between company owners and their employees. I am not anti-CEO. People who run successful companies take great risks and expend much energy and worry. Moreover, for a product to remain successful there must be ongoing research.
I am not advocating that government enforce a ceiling for maximum earnings. In the best of circumstances, management and workers would negotiate together a working wage necessary for a healthy life where the workers live. In the best of worlds, a priority agenda item at shareholders’ meetings would be the well-being of company employees.
Many will scoff at “the best of worlds.” My response is that the only way we can have the best — or, for starters, the better — is if we step forward and make it happen.

Wisconsin volleyball unveils Final Four banner inside UW Field House
The Badgers unveiled the banner from their 2023 Final Four appearance before their exhibition match against Bradley on Aug. 20.
MADISON – Saige Damrow is headed to Nebraska but not the Cornhuskers.
The former defensive specialist/libero for the Wisconsin volleyball team announced Saturday her commitment to Creighton, the undefeated Big East champion that calls Omaha home.
The Bluejays (32-3) reached the Elite 8 this season before falling to eventual national champion Penn State in five sets.
That team was led by three senior All-Americans that included libero Maddy Bilinovic. Damrow, a native of Howards Grove, will be in the hunt to replace her.
Damrow announced her commitment on Instagram.
A leg injury sidelined Damrow for all but three matches of her freshman season. This year Damrow ranked fourth on the Badgers with 2.24 digs per set and played in 19 of 33 matches. That included a five-match run at libero at the end of the regular season when freshman Lola Schumacher, the starter, was out due to injury.
Damrow has three years of eligibility remaining.
