Santa Cruz, CA – The city of Santa Cruz - long known for its liberal politics - is debating a sharp increase in the minimum wage. Activists are gathering signatures to put a measure on the November ballot that would raise the minimum wage $2.50 to $9.25 an hour - with future increases depending on the rate of inflation. As KAZU's Ben Adler reports, the initiative is causing a battle among the city's progressives.
