Where is Pawlenty on the Minimum Wage?

We should find out pretty soon. Minnesota lawmakers have settled on a plan to raise the state's minimum wage for big and small businesses. Pawlenty originally balked at a provision that would automatically raise the minimum wage in future years, but negotiators have removed that provision.

UPDATE: In 2005, Pawlenty signed a $1-an-hour increase in the minimum wage. I wonder what McCain thinks about that. He has generally been opposed to minimum wage increases.
