Chicago WalMart Friend, Unlike Maryland

Chicago lawmakers failed to overturn the Mayors Veto of a BILL that would penalize large businesses that make money and employee people. Good news for Chicago voters, and workers. WalMart would have been penalized and made to pay higher salaries in an artificial manner, no matter how the economy and the rate of inflation. Clearly Chicago believes that it is better to have jobs and a tax base, than unemployment. This is one thing Maryland has yet to realize due to the proximity of Washington DC and large salaries due to defense contracts. Chicago does not benefit from such a deal. Maryland, again and again, has attacked WalMart via legislation. Only time will tell if WalMart decides to take action, and reduce its presence in the People's Republic of Maryland.
