Illinois isn't exactly a model state...

Don't assume that minimum wage increasing there will produce higher wages across the board either, let alone in other states.

Bad idea. It's already above Federal, why change? Cost of living in Illinois is barely above low.


Cost of living in Illinois is only tha low because of everything out of a 50 mil radius of Chicago. Within that 50 miles is pretty expensive. For example I am living in city limits of Milwaukee on the eastside (nice area) for cheaper than I would be living in the run down ghetto burbs of Joliet.
