Mayor Bill de Blasio pressed New York City business leaders on Thursday to raise their workers' starting pay to $13 an hour, while promoting his message of income equality. De Blasio appeared at a gathering of The Association for a Better New York -- a group that has not always seen eye-to-eye with the liberal mayor.
