Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas[1] will raise its own minimum wage to $10.25 an hour next month...
The wage increase will cost the hospital about $350,000 a year. The expense will be covered with money from the upcoming quarter's bonus pool for the hospital's 60 vice presidents and top executives.

After this, every worker employed by Dallas County will make at least $10.25 an hour (still not a living wage by many measures).
Note also that this will barely put a dent in that pool, expected to be at least $3M for the year.

[1] People who have memories of November 22, 1963 will remember that as a historic location

    Wish I had mod points. I could mod you down for complaining about modding, and mod you up for being funny.

    But that would be just like taking from the VPs to pay the minimum wage workers! A net wash! (And please don't mod me down, I wasn't complaining!! Please, sir, may I have another? )
