"Two Northwest Indiana Democrats running for re-election this fall say the state should provide a $2-boost to the $5.15 federal minimum wage that Congress has left unchanged since 1997.
'We cannot have a successful Indiana economy unless business and the workers share in the success,' state Sen. Frank Mrvan, D-Hammond, said Thursday.
Democrats in Congress forced debate on a minimum-wage hike earlier this year, but the measure tanked after Republicans tied it to a repeal of the estate tax, a posthumous levy that according to the Internal Revenue Service impacts only the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans."
