"California's Wage Dilemma: Gavin Newsom's $16/hr Offer Sparks Debate Amidst New State Law"

TL;DR Summary
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing criticism after a restaurant he partially owns posted a job listing for $16 an hour, despite a new state law requiring fast food workers to be paid $20 an hour. The restaurant, part of a company Newsom founded, is hiring a part-time busser at the lower wage, sparking accusations of hypocrisy. Newsom's team stated he no longer has a role in the business's operations. The new law has led to increased menu prices at fast food spots and concerns about potential job losses.
