Lowering the Boom...on Minimum Wage

Brady supports lower minimum wage in Illinois - chicagotribune.com: "SPRINGFIELD — Republican governor candidate Bill Brady said Friday that he supports lowering Illinois' minimum wage if he wins in November and the state rate remains higher than the federal one.

'For the state of Illinois to come in and micro-manage wages above the federal minimum wage is a mistake,' Brady, a state senator from Bloomington, told reporters after speaking at a VFW convention.

Illinois' minimum wage will rise a quarter to $8.25 an hour on Thursday, a dollar above the $7.25 federal minimum wage that took effect last July."
