Illinois wage increase effective this Tuesday
Well, it's the least the state Gov. can do. Considering Illinois, at last check was tenth highest in the nation in gas pump prices. While Missouri is the lowest. You figure that one out. I guess that ol' "Texas Tea" changes to real gold once it crosses the Mississippi east, huh.

CHICAGO -- Governor Rod R. Blagojevich today reminded Illinois workers that the state’s minimum wage will increase to $7.75 an hour starting Tuesday, July 1. The increase will help nearly 650,000 workers cope with the rising cost of living and pay for basic necessities like groceries, gas, rent, childcare and medicine.
Gov. Blagojevich signed legislation in December 2006 boosting Illinois’ minimum wage to $7.50 an hour with an additional 25 cents in each of the following three years to $7.75 on July 1, 2008; $8.00 on July 1, 2009; and $8.25 on July 1, 2010.
The Governor also reminded Illinois workers that if they are not receiving at least the minimum wage, they should call the Illinois Department of Labor’s (IDOL) hotline at 1-800-478-3998 so the State can help them get the wages they’re owed.
