FILE - In this April 1, 2013 file photo, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner speaks with reporters after a meeting in Chicago. Rauner says his comments calling for a cut to Illinois' minimum wage were a "mistake" and he's now in favor of the opposite. The businessman told The Associated Press Thursday, Jan. 90, 2014, that he'd support raising Illinois' $8.25 hourly rate, but only under the right circumstances. That includes if the national wage is increased or if Illinois first accomplishes reforms to workers compensation and other issues. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)
