The private firm that collected signatures to put Proposition 206 on the November ballot is claiming it did not get fully paid.
In a lawsuit filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, Sign Here Petitions LLC says it is still owed $65,000 by backers of the proposal to raise the minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2020.
Attorney Paul Weich said that does not include a $1,000-a-day penalty that initiative organizers agreed to pay in late fees.
But Bill Scheel, the campaign’s manager, said if anyone breached the contract, it was the signature-gathering firm.
