Living Wage Air Carrier. Pursuant to Article 6, Section A of the City Charter of the City of Houston, Mayor John Whitmire hereby issues this executive order beginning today. Beginning today, I order an increase in benefit salary in 2026 today to $20 per hour. To January 1, 2027. It goes to $21 October 27, to $22 October. And let me also say this helps, but this is just the beginning. It's not going to be just wages. (06:12–06:24)
