Hassebrook: Ricketts Has His Head in the Sand

Pete Ricketts has invited New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to Nebraska to campaign for him. Chuck Hassebrook has released the following statement:

“Governor Christie said earlier this week that he is tired of hearing about the minimum wage. So he’s come to Nebraska to hang out with his millionaire buddy, who thinks just like him – they’re two peas in a pod. Pete Ricketts has his head buried in the sand when it comes to the minimum wage. He took millions in executive pay and bonuses, but he would deny Nebraskans that work hard full time every day the opportunity to earn a wage that enables them to put food on the table without public assistance. Thousands of minimum wage workers in Nebraska need a leader who will fight for them, and that’s what I’ll do as Governor.”
