Rick Snow said the additional income would be squandered on illegal activities.

The Maine Heritage Policy Center launched a campaign this week against a November referendum to raise the states minimum wage from $7.50 per hour to $12 per hour by 2020.
Its off to a rocky start.
The Center, which is connected to billionaires Charles and David Koch, announced its opposition during a press conference in the capital Augusta, where business owner Rick Snow, who is running for office in Maine, suggested that raising the wage would only provide more drug money to poorly paid workers.
