Unfortunately, the DHS city council did not have the fortitude after all to stand up to the big corporate interests and for the working families in DHS who need good paying jobs! Shame on council-members Scott Matas and Jan Pye for voting no and for Mayor Sanchez for appearing to flop on this issue and conveniently recusing himself from voting. Looks like Walmart is doing what they can behind the scenes to make their way into our town- starting with greasing the palms of the council. http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/2014/12/03/desert-hot-springs-minimum-wage/19821233/
