[Winona Online Democracy] Wally & others
Since the discussion regarding the "Living Wage" comes up often. Has anyone computed or published the "Living Wage" for Winona and if so is it gross annual pay, can it be converted to an hourly rate, does it include healthcare cost, if not what would that add per hour to the "Living Wage" I think it would be helpful to the discussion if we knew what the number is and that it is not just a term without local basis. It is also important in this discussion since part of the discussion is whether employee's of locally owned businesses are worse or better off than what those of a local Wal-Mart would be.

With possible exception to an ordinance enacted in Santa Fe, NM, it would not pertain to a private sector entity such as Wal-Mart.
