[Nfbmt] subminimum wage debate

[Rik James]

I was thinking the same thing, Joy.
Most people cannot fathom the circumstance of sub-minimum wages. And already 
it has been months since the NBC Rock Center report.
I would love for Harry Smith to do a follow up report. I think I'll email 
Mr. Brian Williams.
By the way, we DVR the NBC NIghtly News. Harry Smith did a piece last night 
that was pretty good.
