Rep. Grant Wehrli (R-Naperville) spoke out in opposition to a bill that would raise the minimum wage in Illinois on Wednesday during a House Labor and Commerce Committee hearing.
According to WalletHub, Naperville residents are expected to spend $2,381 on holiday shopping this year, compared to the $967 the National Retail Federation predicts the average per-person shopper will spend in the 507 other cities analyzed for the survey.
Kevin Coyne thinks the Illinois 11th congressional district can use more of what he’s been able to offer constituents during his time as a Naperville councilman than what U.S. Rep. Bill Foster (D-Naperville) has provided since his election in 2012.
Local chambers of commerce leaders don’t know what it takes for Illinois to come up with a budget plan, but they agree it needs to happen soon.
