Governor Vetoes 15 Dollar-An-Hour Minimum Wage
(Springfield, IL) — Illinois’ business groups are thanking Governor Bruce Rauner for scuttling a plan to raise Illinois’ minimum wage to 15 dollar-an-hour. The governor on Friday vetoed the plan to raise the base pay rate over the next five years. Rauner said small businesses across the state could not have afforded to pay the extra costs.
