CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois voters will get a chance to voice their opinion on raising the minimum wage under a ballot measure Gov. Pat Quinn signed Sunday.
The measure is non-binding, but Quinn and other Democrats who want to raise the rate say it will give them the support they need to move the idea through the state Legislature. The question for the Nov. 4 ballot asks whether Illinois should boost its minimum wage for people over age 18 from $8.25 to $10 by 2015.
