Big Opponent Of Minimum Wage Hike Flips Sides
There’s an important revelation tucked within in our three-part series on Mark Arabo: The once-vocal naysayer in the local fight to raise the minimum wage has flipped sides.
The head of the Neighborhood Market Association has been a growing influence in East County and beyond, declaring himself a national spokesman for the Iraqi Christian community. Around these parts, he’s inserted himself into a number of local debates that have begun to shape life in San Diego, largely those that might impact members of his corner-store club.
He was a clear opponent in the fight to raise the minimum wage, citing concerns of the small business owners he represents. That’s not the case anymore, and Arabo’s political ambition is most likely the primary motivation for that change of heart.
In Part III of his profile of the head of the Neighborhood Market Association, Liam Dillon pressed Arabo to clarify his stances on some key issues in local politics.
Dillon highlighted this 10News clip from March last year. In it, Arabo pushed back against then-Council President Todd Gloria’s campaign to raise the minimum wage. Arabo warned of the ripple effects: Higher wages for businesses would translate to higher prices for consumers, he said.
