Minimum wage increase in Indiana voted down

Indiana - It looks like the minimum wage in Indiana will not go up anytime soon.
Indiana Senators Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh supported the amendment to raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour.

Wednesday, the vote on that bill was 52-to-46 for the amendment by Senator Edward Kennedy, but under budget rules, 60 votes were needed to pass the measure.

Indiana's Senators split on an alternative amendment, to raise the minimum wage by $1.10 in two steps over 18 months. However, that was also voted down 53-to-45.
