(WRN) -Wisconsin's delegation voted along party lines as a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour passed the House of Representatives on Thursday.Democrats Ron Kind, Gwen Moore and Mark Pocan voted "yes," Republicans Sean Duffy, Mike Gallagher, Glenn Grothman, Jim Sensenbrenner and Bryan Steil "no," as the Raise the Wage Act passed 231-199 on a near party-line vote.
Congress last raised the federal minimum wage to $7.25 per hour about a decade ago.This 15 dollars an hour bill is unlikely to come to a vote in the U-S Senate.
