The Maryland General Assembly voted Tuesday to increase the minimum wage to $6.15 per hour, overriding a veto by Gov. Robert Ehrlich.
The state Senate voted 30-17 overriding the governor's veto of a bill passed last year. The new state minimum wage is $1 more than the federal government demands.The new rate will take affect in Maryland Feb. 16.
Maryland joins 17 other states, plus Washington, D.C., that have a minimum wage above the federal mandate rate of $5.15 per hour.
