I would not support raising the Illinois minimum wage. I believe it is an issue that should be handled at the Federal level, so that Illinois will not be at a competitive disadvantage. It should be noted that Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan have a $7.25 minimum wage, which puts Illinois employers, who have to pay $8.25 at a competitive disadvantage, especially those along the borders.
