City of Big Boxes

Mayor Daley has vetoed the "Big-Box law" that would have hampered large stores by requiring them to pay higher wages than small stores.

He had declared his opposition to the ordinance a while ago, but vetoed it today - the first time he has ever vetoed anything.

He saw the flaw
And blocked the Big Box law.

Oo! Great move! I actually like Daley sometimes... and though he was against the smoking ban, I was disappointed that he did not stand his ground and oppose it strongly enough.

Apparently he waited to veto this law until he was sure he had enough votes to make the veto stick.
