Minimum pay for firemen proposed in Illinois House
Springfield AP A bill by Rep. Carl Soderstrom would raise firemen minimum wages across city sizes from 300 to 400 in small towns and up to 500 in larger cities with staged increases. The plan relies on funding from a 0.5 percent city sales tax hike opposed by GOP leaders who favor broadening the tax base rather than higher rates. A separate measure would tax winning bets at pari mutuel tracks at 24 percent, while a fair employment practices bill advances with a compromise aimed at limiting enforcement tools against business.
