Raising the state's minimum wage is seen as a core component of Quinn's and other Democrats' 2014 election strategy, as they seek to keep the Illinois governor’s mansion for another term and pick up congressional seats across the country. But the proposal to boost Illinois’ hourly rate to $10.65 is moving at a glacial pace through the statehouse in Springfield, and there are indications the state's ruling party may be short of the votes it needs to get the legislation passed.
