Big box retailer #3...first Target, then Walmart and now Lowes. Who is going to be the next retailer to tell Chicago aldermen to shove it?

Big box dims in Chicago pulled the same maneuver (with a different twist) that the Large Mouth RATs pulled here in Md on WalMart.

Fortunately the courts ruled against it here. Maybe the same will happen in Chicago.

Businesses should get together and announce they won't build inside Chicago city limits and build right outside it.

Losers.. unemployed workers, the poor (in lower prices), the companies, contractors, minorities, women and children.

Winners... Unions, politicians, and developers.

Ahh yes... Democrats, the party that cares /sarc

Just another example of the sheer stupidity of liberals and labor unions. I love the arrogance of these "elected officials" in Chicago; they think they can just set "living" wages for people. Unbelievable.

Well, I live in Chicago - where's my "living" wage? I need $500K a year to live my lifestyle. I want it now!
