    Not familiar enough with US political system, does a mayor have a say in minimum wage amount? I thought that would be the competency of the state

      Minimum wage is set on several levels - federal, state, city. The lower level just can’t be lower than the higher level.

      I think NYC has a higher minimum wage than the rest of the state. Not sure if that’s limited to New York, or possible in every city.
