It says $30 by 2030. What is the term for Mayor? Is he promising something that literally cannot be done by him?

Minimum wage is current around $16 there. Standardly you put a plan in place with a set date and partial increases up to that day to allow companies time to plan and get ready. For instance the last time federal minimum wage increased, it rolled out as such

"The 2007 amendments increased the minimum wage to $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. "

7.25 was what they said they were going to go to, but rolled it out slowly to prepare everyone.

16-30 in a 4 year roll out makes sense

Wow, insane that it’s that low right now. Minimum wage in Seattle is $20.76 and grows based on inflation every year. It’s grown from $15 in 2017.
