FILE - In this Dec. 3, 2013 file photo, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, speaks to lawmakers during a pension hearing at the Capitol Springfield, Ill. Raising the state's minimum wage is seen as a core component of Gov. Pat Quinn 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. The minimum wage proposal short of votes in Illinois Legislature. Madigan says he is still actively working the roll call in the House, where 60 votes are needed to pass the bill before the May 31 adjournment deadline. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman, File)
