Quotes:
“As a woman and a black woman at that, I recognize and know firsthand inequities with pay, and it has to stop somewhere.” -Rep. Brandy Fluker Oakley
“The hiring process can be costly—investing in personal time in candidates who don't share the same salary expectation is really a waste of company resources and the candidates' time. By putting, you know, the pay out from the beginning and the outset, you're removing that” -Rep. Josh Cutler
