Big box ordinance vetoed

Chicago's mayor has vetoed the "big box" law passed a few weeks ago, which would have required large retailers to pay $10/hour (rising to $13/hour by 2010).

It was the mayor's first veto in his seventeen year term (in Chicago, it's rare for the council to pass a law that the mayor doesn't approve of), and he appears to have pulled a few aldermen over to his side to ensure he won't be overridden.
