Is there anything to prevent the people from putting on a ballot measure that legislators should only earn the minimum wage in our state?

Actually yes.
In Pennsylvania, citizens do not have the power to initiate statewide initiatives or referendums. Voters of Pennsylvania have never voted on a ballot measure to authorize a statewide initiative and referendum process.

Lower floor = lower ceiling. If I make 12 an hour because min wage is 7.25, someone in the exact same job in a state with higher minimum wage would be making more money
