Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday proposed using $300 million in federal coronavirus aid to assist businesses in the state in paying their employees $15 dollars an hour.
Whitmer, a Democrat, proposed using state grants to cover the difference between an employee’s current hourly wage and $15/hour for three months. Businesses that received such aid would have to pledge to continue to pay workers $15 an hour for an additional three months.
