Daley, Mayor, vetoed the ‘Big Box Ordinance.’ This was a city bill to set a higher minimum wage for the most popular large stores, like Wal-Mart and Target. This was the Mayor’s first veto ever, he has been in office 17 years. It is going to stand because 3 Aldermen suddenly realized it was a bad idea. Russell Roberts of Cafe Hayek has a great rundown including quotes from the transformed Aldermen and links to other works about why this was a bad idea to start with.
