A Republican measure - backed by restaurant owners and other business groups - would ask voters to amend the Arizona Constitution and let Arizona businesses pay employees who work for tips 25% less than the minimum wage.

    Hmm seems like we need to get together and propose our own amendment forcing minimum wage regardless of tip status. Remove the current loophole, not make it larger.

    Here in AZ citizens can propose their own legislation directly. And by design, it is extremely difficult, nearly impossible realistically, for the legislature to modify it after the fact. It’s purpose is so we can bypass a legislature refusing to do the will of the people on a specific topic.
