"Wal-Mart and Target could pay their people a living wage. Then we wouldn't have this problem, and people could actually live on the money they made," Hairston said.

Well, geez, Ms. Hairston, you seem to know so much about how to run a Walmart or Target store, why don't you just step in and take over as CEO?

Typical liberal the state should run everything mindset.

Her comments caught my eye too!

Hairston called it little more than a scare tactic. And even if the threat turns out to be real, she's standing firm in support of organized labor.

Just like the Air Traffic Controllers did in 1981...guess big labor taught Reagan a lesson didn't they?

Chicago and any other city that tries to regulate/mandate wages and benefits should lose all their big box stores...a pox on all their houses!!!
