Rich Obama Donor Wants Wage Hike
Ron Shaich, the one-percenter who is CEO of the 1,800-store Panera chain, wants the minimum wage raised to $10.10 an hour.
Shaich is planning on installing touch screen kiosks at the Paneras to replace its cashiers.
The little-guy neighborhood bakery that he competes with would just as soon hire a neighborhood kid.
Of course, between Obamacare mandates and a minimum wage hike they won’t be doing much of that — assuming they remain in business which is anything but a safe assumption.
It should be noted that Shaich wants the wage mandated by law for all. He will not do it unilaterally for Panera workers, which he can do without government coercion.
Shaich is a major donor to Obama and his causes.

Pa House Tackles Landlord Issues
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives sent to the Senate two pieces of legislation tackling landlord issues, says State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
House Bill 1218, passed May 6, allows for the early termination of a lease without penalty: if the tenant has passed away, if the tenant requires long-term care that cannot be provided where he or she currently lives, or if the tenant is a victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking. Another provision in the legislation seeks to enhance the safety of tenants who are victims of domestic violence.
House Bill 1714, passed May 5, allows for the removal of abandoned property after a tenant vacates the premise, if the tenant provides written notice to the landlord, and has also removed most of his or her other belongings. Although landlords are required to retain these belongings for at least 10 days while attempting to contact the tenant, the provision ensures that they are able to more readily rent their property.
