The AZ Chamber of Commerce along with other local chambers filed an injunction in order to dalay the implementation of Prop 206. Those efforts have now officially failed as the Supreme Court of Arizona rejected any such motions from the Arizona business community.
On Sunday over 700,000 Arizonans will be getting a wage hike. Over night those minimum wage workers will receive a pay increase of $1.95, taking it from $8.05 to $10.00.

Further legal actions againt the implementation of prop 206's minimum wage hike will be ongoing. According to the AZ Capitol times:

After the AZ Supreme Court denied the stay, Hamer simply stated:
