Illinois Senate votes down two of three wage bills
The Illinois Senate killed two of three measures to set a $1.60 minimum wage. One near passage bill could be voted on this week. The defeated Esther Saperstein measure would have listed federal exemptions and left many workers outside the coverage. The Harris bill failed in committee, proposing a three phase rise. A broader House bill remains the best hope for a state wage mandate.
