Commuters board the "Triumphant", a catamaran serving as a ferry for Google employees on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014, in Redwood City, Calif. Google workers commuting from San Francisco to the company's Mountain View campus can now make the trip on an 83-foot, Wi-Fi-equipped catamaran. Google has launched a free ferry service from San Francisco's ferry terminal to the Port of Redwood City, where employees can hop a private bus to work. Google is hoping to defuse a controversy over the shuttle buses that several Silicon Valley companies use to carry thousands of employees to work from San Francisco and the East Bay.

FILE - In this April 1, 2013 file photo, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner speaks with reporters after a meeting in Chicago. Rauner says his comments calling for a cut to Illinois' minimum wage were a "mistake" and he's now in favor of the opposite. The businessman told The Associated Press Thursday, Jan. 90, 2014, that he'd support raising Illinois' $8.25 hourly rate, but only under the right circumstances. That includes if the national wage is increased or if Illinois first accomplishes reforms to workers compensation and other issues. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)
