(18:45) SACRAMENTO – Governor  Jerry  Brown  has  signed  the  controversial  overtime  pay  for  agricultural workers  bill  into  law.    Although  most legislators  say  they  want  farmworkers  to  be  paid  a  reasonable  wage,  some  say  that  instead  of  the  Ag  Worker  Bill  meaning  more  money  for  farm  workers,  it’ll  mean  more  lay-offs  in  the  field.    AB-1066  is  slated  to  be  phased-in  starting  in  2019.
