"Ald. Joe Moore (49th), chief sponsor of the big-box ordinance, accused Target and Wal-Mart of using "bullying tactics" to stop a train that has already left the station."

Gotta love the way the libs insist that they have the right to demand that Target and Walmart build in their area, all the while giving up any rights to make their own decisions in regards to running the store. As far as I can see, if a person doesn't want to work for $8 an hour, they simply don't apply for the job. Raising the wages would only result in higher product cost - that way everyone gets to move backward.

"Ald. Howard Brookins (21st) is still searching for a big-box retailer to replace the Wal-Mart his colleagues nixed at 83rd and Stewart."

This WalMart ended up at 95th & Western with hundreds of employees, thousands of happy customers, and of course, millions of tax dollars for Evergreen Park instead of Chicago.

"As far as I can see, if a person doesn't want to work for $8 an hour, they simply don't apply for the job."

But plenty of people do, as evidenced by the 25,000 who showed up to apply for the jobs at the Evergreen Park store.
