He also thinks that this could force many businesses to change hours, pay or benefits to employees to control costs or pass them along to the consumer.Click <a href="http://lacrossetribune.com/conservatives-blast-obama-s-visit-to-la-crosse/article_042e1cf2-6b4a-5a22-8a16-21e5730ce6b5.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lacrosse-tribune-protesters-few-but-vocal-critics-still-abound-2026" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> to read the original story.
