Another Iowa county could be in line to raise its minimum wage. Lee County's "Raise the Wage" Committee said last week the county's wage should rise to $8.20 an hour. That would be $.95 above the current state and federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Lee county could be the fifth in Iowa to raise its minimum wage, joining Linn, Johnson, Polk, and Wapello counties. A bill being considered at the Iowa capitol would get rid of and prevent any local minimum wage hikes.
