The minimum wage in three other states, Georgia, Wyoming and Minnesota, are also lower than the federal level.
On his Facebook page, Rep. Wilkins wrote "Well the word is pretty well out that I plan to present a minimun wage bill during this session. I look forward to be able to help the working poor."
