Letter to the Editor: $7.21 an hour is not a liveable wage"

(Cyndi Borgstahl has submitted a Letter to the Editor in support of Sondy Carver's comment http://www.decorahnews.com/news-stories/2014/10/9277.html about Joni Ernst not supporting a higher minimum wage)

"I own a beautiful place in Northeast Iowa but I can't live there because my husband and I cannot make it there in Iowa.  Not only because of the minimum wage you think is adequate.  You just don't have the jobs with wages that keep people.  I live in the Oil Patch where I see people living in campers through the winter and paying outrageous rents just to keep whatever they have back home.  I was trailer trash.  The Affordable Housing of Eastern Montana and West North Dakota.  I tell people do not judge them because there is always a story of back home."
