  • U.S. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch announced that she “will follow whatever recommendation the FBI and prosecutors make on whether to charge Hillary Clinton in connection to an email probe.” The announcement was a response to Lynch’s meeting with former President Bill Clinton at an airport in Phoenix on Monday. Lynch said, "Certainly, my meeting with him raises questions and concerns. It has now cast a shadow over how this case may be perceived, no matter how it's resolved. ... [But] it's important to make it clear that that meeting with President Clinton does not have a bearing on how this matter is going to be reviewed, resolved and accepted by me." The FBI is investigating how Clinton and her aides handled classified information while Clinton served as secretary of state.
  • The Daily Caller reported that Hillary Clinton is scheduled to meet with the FBI on Saturday, according to “a source close to the investigation into her private email server.” The source added that “the interview may take place at her Washington, D.C. home.”

  • The minimum wage in San Francisco increased from $12.25 per hour to $13.00 per hour. This increase is the result of Proposition J, which was approved on November 4, 2014. The proposition was spearheaded by Mayor Ed Lee (D) and referred to the ballot by the city council as a compromise between a coalition of labor and business interests. The measure was designed to raise the minimum wage in the city according to the following timeline: $12.25 per hour by May 2015, $13 per hour by July 2016, $14 per hour by July 2017, and $15 per hour by July 2018.
    • Seattle, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have all begun implementation of $15 per hour minimum wages in recent years. In 2014, the Seattle City Council unanimously supported a minimum wage increase for full implementation in 2021. The Los Angeles City Council soon followed in 2015 when it voted 14-1 to enact the increase by 2020. A third California city, San Mateo, is expected to enact a $15 per hour minimum wage ordinance in July. It would phase into effect in 2018 with some exemptions ending in 2020. On June 7, 2016, the Washington, D.C., City Council unanimously approved a proposal to raise the city’s minimum wage to $15 by 2020.
    • Two more cities—Miami Beach in Florida and San Diego in California—recently approved smaller minimum wage hikes. The Miami Beach City Commission voted in favor of increasing the minimum wage to $10.31 in 2018 with an increase over time until it reaches $13.31 in 2021. San Diego voters approved Proposition I, which will increase the city’s minimum wage to $11.50 in January 2017, by more than 63 percent of the vote.
  • FILING DEADLINE: Deadline passed to run for two school board seats in one school district in Idaho. The Boise School District is the second-largest school district in the state and served 27,275 students during the 2013-2014 school year. There is no primary election, and the general election will be held on September 6, 2016.
