Gov. Jay Inslee signs law to help reduce male/female pay gap

From ... https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/washington/articles/2018-03-21/gov-jay-inslee-signs-law-aimed-at-lowering-gender-wage-gap?fbclid=IwAR0_tp5wXO4RXmoK-yLPNzrk4wX5xnmDZrmOvLQ88yvtZCYxqRRvOjdvi1Y

Here's a part of the article ...

"The measure modifies the state's Equal Pay Act by making several changes, including making it unacceptable for employers to retaliate against an employee for asking about their wages or the salary of other employees. It also provides additional protections under the existing law for employees whose professional opportunities are hindered because of their gender."

... and he could do the same as president ... assuming a friendly Congress of course.

Matthews did not let him say a word, he just talked over him even more than he usually does. I turned him off after that rude display.
