The bill will be sent to the Assembly for their consideration. Governor Doyle has stated that he will sign the bill into law if it passes.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>Democratic senators kept in the bill the annual adjustment of the minimum wage for inflation  a provision Republicans tried to strike. Therefore, if the bill becomes law, you will expect to see a wage increase annually in minimum wage employees and assumed counselor wages.</p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>This bill effectively raises minimum wage to $7.60. It also increases the Camp Counselor salaries to $210 a week, with room and board, regardless of age. Interestingly enough, it is estimated to affect only about 225,000 workers in Wisconsin . </p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>For a detailed description of the proposed bill, follow the link below. Once again, it is not signed into law yet and has to pass the Assembly, but</p> <p class=MsoNormal>it looks like it has a good chance of passing there as well. If it passes, it will go into effect June 1, 2009.</p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>If you would like to weigh in your thoughts on the bill being sent to the Assembly, contact your local representative and voice your concern or approval.</p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2009/data/SB1-SSA1.pdf">http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2009/data/SB1-SSA1.pdf</a></p> <p class=MsoNormal><b><u>____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></u></b></p> <p class=header align=center style='text-align:center'><u><span style='font-size:16.0pt;color:windowtext'>ACA-Illinois Professional Training Website<o:p></o:p></span></u></p> <p class=header><span style='color:windowtext;font-weight:normal'>With camp beginning in another 4-5 months, the topic of professional training of our staff is high on our priorities.&nbsp;
