Senate Blocks Minimum Wage Hike?

I'm hearing that the Senate has blocked the minimum wage increase. More when I get it.

**Update** Confirmed:

On a 54-43 vote, liberals lost an effort to advance a House-passed bill that would lift the pay floor from $5.15 to $7.25 an hour without any accompanying tax cut. Opponents of the tax cut needed 60 votes to prevail.
