Its not going to work out how they expect.
Companies that pay $7 - $9/hr are going to have to do one of two things to deal with a minimum wage increase:
1) Fire/timesize workers
2) Raise prices
Guess which one the businesses are going to choose. Its not going to have the effect they believe it will. Illinois is in the middle of a death kneel, and this will only hasten it.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
