Tension was in the air at a hearing in Rockville, Maryland, on doing away with the tipped wage credit and phasing in a minimum wage that matches the rest of Montgomery County among both sides of the debate.As the Tuesday afternoon hearing started, Montgomery County Council President Evan Glass urged both sides to be “respectful,” adding that “we know there are a lot of emotions, and a lot of concerns” on both sides of the debate.The legislation, Bill 35-23, County Minimum Wage — Tipped Workers, would raise the minimum wage for tipped workers from the current $4 an hour rate with a $2 an hour increase by July 2024. The hourly wage would continue to increase until it matches the county’s own minimum wage, which currently ranges from $14.50 to $16.70 an hour, depending on the number of employees in the workplace.Council members Will Jawando and Kristin Mink have championed the bill, arguing it would raise the floor for workers.Maryland Del.
