San Diego voters made their support for a minimum wage increase very clear when they went to the ballot box Tuesday.
Proposition I was approved by 63 percent of voters, clearing the way for an immediate increase to the city’s minimum wage.
The proposition not only raises the minimum wage to $10.50 but also gives workers five days of paid sick leave.
In January, the minimum wage will be boosted to $11.50 an hour.
The state also approved a similar hike to $15 an hour minimum wage.
