From the Wages Of Living department:

Chicago aldermen voted 35 to 14 today in favor of an ordinance that will require big-box retailers in Chicago to pay their employees a minimum of $10 an hour in wages and $3 an hour in benefits.

Perhaps this will stop the roots of Walmart from spreading within city limits. Perhaps it will also assuage the guilt I feel every time I buy something from Target.
