On June 21, 2006, Senator Ted Kennedy offered an amendment that would raise the minimum wage by over 40%. The proposal passed 52 - 46, thanks in part to Lincoln Chafee who broke with Republicans to vote YES.

This wasn't the first time Chafee sided with Ted Kennedy instead of Republicans, but that's for another day.

Past Reasons
Reason 18 - Chafee and Incomes Taxes
Reason 19 - Chafee's Liberal Donors
Reason 20 - Chafee a "Centrist Democrat"
