Omaha’s mayor just signed a bold new law raising the city’s minimum wage to $15 an hour — a move he called “the right thing to do” after presenting his budget. It follows a narrow City Council vote and is a direct pushback against the state’s new limits, which cap wage hikes and allow lower pay for teens and trainees. Ewing, who once worked minimum wage as a teen helping his parents, says this will ease pressure on families — even as he admits legal challenges are likely. Meanwhile, Lincoln’s similar law is already under attack from the state’s Attorney General, making Omaha’s next steps a statewide watch.
