The suburbs thank the City of Chicago for all the new jobs coming their way!
How many politically-motivated "Exemptions" will get issued for this, to buy 2016 support??
It wasn't that long ago that the Groupon and the Chicago Board of Trade were threatening to move to Indiana, because of the Illinois Income tax hikes, until they got exempted from them.

These gradual increases make it hard to judge the effect, or am I wrong on that?

Let’s set the minimum wage at $20 already like the Socialist Party demands.
Don’t be shy Chicago; c’mon, you can do it!

Those miserable cheapskates! Who can live on $13 an hour? That's not a living wage.
Make it $500 an hour. That way people will only need to work a few hours a week and employers will be forced to hire more workers.
More pay and more jobs! Win-win!

Why not $1,396.35 per hour? That’s what they pay in Zimbabwe.
