Moylan, Thillens disagree on whether to raise state minimum wage

Among the issues separating 55th District State House candidates Marty Moylan and Mel Thillens -- competing in one of this year's most closely watched legislative races -- is the minimum wage. Moylan, the incumbent Democrat elected two years ago, supports a statewide increase from $8.25 to $10 an hour -- echoing a push by Gov. Pat Quinn in his re-election campaign.
