For those of you who followed along at home, you may remember that a major sticking point in the campaign for paid sick days in Maine was the assumed cost for businesses.

A blog post by Aaron Rutkoff in the Wall Street, Will Sick Days Cost Billions for NYC Businesses? San Francisco Says No, Journal today does a fantastic job debunking this popular myth by looking at San Francisco’s law as a case study.
