The battle over letting voters decide on a higher minimum wage and new workplace protections in Tacoma continues.Now, the city is challenging a Sept. 9 order from a Pierce County superior court judge to put the initiative on the February special election ballot. The city filed a notice to appeal the court’s decision on Friday.

There are six people running to be the next mayor of Tacoma. On Aug. 5, voters will decide which candidates will advance to the general election. Ahead of the August primary election, Tacomans had a chance to hear from five of those mayoral candidates. Community groups including Tacoma For All, Common Good Tacoma, the Tacoma Ministerial Alliance and the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 367 held a forum for candidates running to be the city’s next mayor. All candidates except Tom Ginn participated in the forum.
