The state of Illinois is lurching toward a$15.00 per hour minimum wage. (Final implementation in 2025.

I am the treasurer of a fraternal not for profit organization here in Ill. We barely get by every year. Our members constantly complain about our drink and food prices, and they say our dues are too high.

This idiotic move by our new communist governor and legislature should end the complaints once and for all. It will also result in loss of jobs for several people who because of disabilities etc are mostly unemployable in the public sector.

Thank you very much.

It will only get worse, because by 2025 $15.00 dollars will only be worth (pick a number) $11-13 of today’s dollars, so the upward death spiral in Illinois will go faster. Maybe Jabba The Hut Pritzker will allow all non-profits and small businesses to remove toilets to avoid paying the additional costs. Worked for him....
