(AP) — Kansas City officials are facing a self-imposed July 16 deadline to make a decision on whether to raise the local minimum wage, but after weeks of roundtable discussions between business interests and advocates for $15 an hour, neither side has been willing to budge. The council's efforts have been in response to a petition initiative that seeks a public vote to increase the city's minimum wage to $10 an hour by Sept.
