Hillsborough County Living Wage campaign

`Living Wage' Public Meetings Start This Week

H illsborough County has scheduled four public meetings to discuss the possible implementation of a ``living wage'' for county workers and those employed by county contractors.

Two local groups have called on the county to increase what is paid to some employees earning less than federal poverty standards. Input from the meetings will help a task force determine what recommendation to make to county commissioners.

The meetings, all starting at 6:30 p.m., will be:

* Thursday at the Plant City Neighborhood Service Center, 702 E. Alsobrook St.

* March 30 at the Ruskin Neighborhood Service Center, 201 14th Ave. S.E.

* April 1 at the University Community Center, 14013 N. 22nd St., Tampa.

* April 6 at the West Tampa Neighborhood Service Center, 2103 N. Rome Ave.

For information, call Toni Beddingfield at (813) 272-5275.
