notwantthemtobecomeminimumwagejobs,”saidHowell,whohasledtheasso-ciationformorethan11years.“Whattheydoisverychallengingandrequiresalotofskill.”Developmental disability services are

funded through the state. But, in 2006thestatepaid69percentaboveminimumwageforsuchemployees,andasoflastyearthathadbeenreducedto35percent.Thefearwasthatiftheminimumwage

wasraised,asitwasin2014inMaryland,that workers providing these serviceswould fall below that mark, making itmoredifficulttorecruitandretainquali-

fiedstaff.In 2014, Howell’s organization — a

statewide nonprofit comprised ofmorethan 100members serving people withdevelopmentaldisabilities—beganwhatwouldbecomeasuccessfulcampaigninthe Maryland General Assembly to in-clude itsmembers inaplan to increasetheminimumwage.Thisyear,Howellsaidherorganization
