(AP) Discussions on raising Pennsylvania's minimum wage for the first time since 2009 are heating up, in part to get Gov. Tom Wolf to abandon an effort to extend overtime pay eligibility to tens of thousands of additional workers. If Wolf, a Democrat, is to get the Republican-controlled Legislature to agree to raise Pennsylvania's minimum wage, he'll have to make concessions, including rescinding the overtime proposal. The increase under negotiation is far more modest than what Wolf proposed in January when he pushed for a multi-year increase to $15 an hour in 2025. The discussion revolves around increasing the minimum wage to around $9.50 an hour in steps over 18 months or so, concessions that may be tough to swallow for many Democratic lawmakers and labor unions.
