“As an entrepreneur and long-time advocate for women-and minority-owned businesses, I know that raising Maryland’s minimum wage will strengthen our businesses and our economy,” said Sheila Brooks, CEO of SRB Communications. “The O’Malley-Brown Administration is taking the right approach: bringing people together and fighting to raise the minimum wage so that more women in Maryland have a chance to thrive and succeed.”

The Maryland General Assembly approved the minimum wage bill Monday, April 7 and it’s expected to be signed into law by Governor Martin O’Malley, raising Maryland’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour by 2018.
