Seriously. Matt Manweller is a WA St Republican representing Ellensburg, WA. He's also a professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg.
WA State Rep. Matt Manweller recently said that in his opinion, $0 would be a "perfect" minimum wage. When a voter pointed out that $0/hour hasn't been allowed since the Civil War, this is how Manweller responded: “Add that to the list of mistakes made during the civil war then.” LINK
If you go to the link you'll see an image of the email documenting Manweller’s email reply, conveniently sent via iPhone.
Ironically, Dr Manweller teaches Intro to US Gov and US Constitutional History <eye roll> at Central Washington University. Must be one of those “liberal college professors” I keep hearing about.
If you'd like to share your disagreement with Rep Manweller’s position on the minimum wage (or apparently any wage at all) you can find his contact info here.
