Introduction to Living Wages
In 2007, Progressive Maryland lobbied hard and succeeded in passing the nation's first statewide living wage law. The new law shows that Maryland is serious about rewarding work and helping families, and sets the example for more states and Congress to do the same. This law strengthens the ladder for tens of thousands of families living in poverty to climb into the middle class. In the 2006 election, Maryland's voters endorsed just such action.
Progressive Maryland has been fighting to pass legislation to give working families a raise from our very founding. In the last five years, Progressive Maryland has:
Won a living wage for Montgomery County
Won a living wage for Prince George's County
Increased Maryland's minimum wage
Passed nation's first state living wage law
The new law requires large for-profit state service contractors to pay their workers enough to make a decent living and feed their families without Food Stamps. In urban counties the rate is a modest $11.30/hour ($23,500/year), and $8.50/hour in rural counties, for full-time work. The principles that living wage laws rely on are the following:
As taxpayers, we have a say in where our money goes: we should be creating living wage, not poverty wage, jobs with our tax dollars.
Any company that receives a contract with a city, county, or the state of Maryland should be providing good, living wage, jobs for Marylanders.
Instead of paying Maryland workers poverty wages and forcing them to rely on state programs in order to make ends meet, we should pay them a wage that reflects the cost of living and the value of their labor.
No one who works full time should have to live in poverty.
PM will continue to fight to raise wages so we have healthy families in Maryland and a permanently expanding middle class.

Quote of the Month
"Senator Obama now has an increased obligation to make overhauling our special interest-driven campaign finance apparatus a top priority if elected.... While declining public funds for this election is regrettable, a failure on the part of the next president to help lead the fight to win grassroots-empowering public financing for all federal offices would be unforgivable."
-Nick Nyhart, Executive Director of Public Campaign, writing in the Huffington Post
The Iraq War cost $540 billion so far, $11 billion from Md., $5,000 per household- See more
PM's political strength comes from our 15,000 individual members and supporters and partnership with over 40 of Maryland's largest community, faith-based, labor, and civil rights groups. But we need your support to continue winning for working families and hold our elected officials accountable to us, not just special interests.
