Wal-Mart push begins anew :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: City Hall
Shared via AddThis
Well at least some people will find employment. This is exactly what this Mayor should have pushed for in the first place. At the very least, a project of this nature would have had more favorable support from city residents.
The Mayor, his cronies, and all the other blame-seeking titty-babies, need to move on, and stop looking back at how the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted. This should have been about "Long-Term" employment, not this short-term, grab all the cash you can event. It has been widely reported on how much money cities lose after an Olympic event. So having a long term project in place, offers a better shot at economic development, and job stability.
Now the only problem for a "Wal-Mart", or any other franchise too expand on such properties, is at least some concession, workers will receive a decent wage. But more should be required by our aldermen/women. They should also push for "Distribution Centers" within large vacant properties in the city, too slow the exodus of labor potential out in the surrounding suburbs.
Well it's just a suggestion. No doubt they will ignore it.
