Detroit's minimum wage is a whopping $7.40 an hour, more than $2 above the federal minimum wage when it was enacted; and pressure groups are pushing for more. Additionally, any company contracting with the city must pay its employees $8.23 an hour if they offer benefits or $10.28 an hour if they do not offer benefits.
huckleberry (plural huckleberries) 1  A small round fruit of a dark blue or red color of several plants in the related genera Vaccinium and Gaylussacia. 2  A shrub growing this fruit. ( 3 idiomatic) A small amount, as in the phrase huckleberry above a persimmon. ( 4 slang) A person of little consequence.
New leaves are bronze to red in color and mature into a glossy green through the summer months. The black-purple berries of the huckleberry plant are resultant of tiny, pale pink urn-shaped flowers that appear in the spring. This delicious fruit is, in turn, eaten fresh or turned into jams and other preserves. Birds find the berries hard to resist as well.
