AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Minimum Wage Fight: Labor groups and Akbayan Rep. Percival Cendaña asked the Philippines Supreme Court to undo Pasig RTC orders that paused Metro Manila’s P85 minimum-wage increase, arguing the rulings undermine wage-fixing for 1.1M workers. Local Budget Pressure: Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava unveiled a $14.3B budget plan “do more with less,” including transit service cuts that could hit small businesses and riders. Small-Business Weatherproofing: Oregon opened a wildfire and smoke self-report survey to help businesses document losses and potentially qualify for SBA economic injury disaster loans. Water Access Support: Oregon also reminded small towns, nonprofits, tribes and businesses about drought mitigation grants for water system fixes and economic recovery. Local Development Incentives: El Centro County approved its LiNC program to reimburse part of sales/use tax for lithium projects only after performance milestones and reviews. Cash Access in Rural Greece: Greece’s finance ministry said banks decide ATM placement, but village shops can voluntarily offer cash withdrawals to improve access. Tech Disruption Watch: Mitchell, South Dakota, says its city network is fully operational after a cybersecurity shutdown, though it didn’t confirm whether data was compromised. Town Center Voice: Wales’ Federation of Small Businesses urged the new Town Centre Taskforce to give small firms a strong role from the start.
