Welcome to Monday, November 16th, on-times and late-fees...
Trump has said that the coronavirus vaccine ([link removed]) developed under Operation Warp Speed will be delivered to all states “within weeks”—except for New York.
In late September, Cuomo announced that New York would assemble an independent task force of scientists, doctors, and health experts to review data from every coronavirus vaccine approved by the FDA.

During his discussion of the rollout, Trump argued: "This is a very successful, amazing vaccine at 90% [effective] and more but — so the governor Cuomo will have to let us know when he’s ready for it. We can’t be delivering it to a state that won’t be giving it to its people immediately.”
In response to the president's remarks, a senior advisor to Cuomo said on Twitter that the governor “is fighting to ensure the communities hit hardest by COVID get the vaccine.”

** Florida Approves Gradually Raising the Minimum Wage
------------------------------------------------------------
Florida voters approved Amendment 2, a mandate to raise the Florida state minimum wage to $15/hour by September 2026, by a 60.82% to 39.18% margin. The current minimum wage is $8.56/hour.
Florida for a Fair Wage led the campaign in support of Amendment 2 and argued that raising the minimum wage will give more workers a living wage and reduce their reliance on government aid:
“Florida needs to pass the Fair Wage Amendment to ensure that all hard-working Floridians can receive a living wage. The 'living wage' is the minimum cost that covers the basic needs of an individual and the needs of their family without government assistance.”
