		<description><![CDATA[Someone working full-time at minimum wage earns $290 a week, or just $15,080 yearly without any time off. It's impossible to pay for rent, food, transportation, health care and everything else on such a meager salary. It's indefensible that someone who works 40 hours a week would be unable to feed her family. Sign the petition to urge Albany to raise the minimum wage!]]></description>

But now, the transit agency has reversed course, and plans to cut the G back to its old route, ending at Smith-9th.
