- ‘I hope you can live with your consciences’: Pa. minimum wage proposal blocked by Senate GOP
Pennsylvania Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic effort to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour with annual cost-of-living increases. The House had passed the bill, but Senate rules prevented debate on its contents during a procedural vote, leading to a party-line split. Neighboring states have higher minimum wages than Pennsylvania’s current $7.25.
