What does it mean to be held in âcontempt of courtâ? In a personal injury or other type of trial, a judge may issue an order to hold a party, an attorney, or another person in contempt of court if that person has been disobedient, disrespectful, or acted in another way that disrupted the courtâs proceedings.
Arizona employers would be required to pay a minimum wage of $12 an hour by 2020, if an initiative qualifies for the ballot and passes.

In 2006, the people of Arizona voted to allow cities to set their own minimum wage. If we followed that law, many Arizona cities would stick with the state minimum wage, because that reflects their local cost of living. But, elsewhere â Flagstaff, Prescott, and Lake Havasu City, for example â average wages adjusted for the cost of living rank among the lowest in the nation. Voters of those cities might decide that the local minimum wage should be higher than the statewide minimum ($8.05 per hour).
