The City Council approved the big box ordinance last week, which set higher wages for mega-retailers. После продолжительных консультаций с Хансом-Херманном Хоппе и Гровером Норквистом, мэр Дэли is arguing that Wal-Mart and others will move outside the city limits, hurting Chicago's sales tax income and leaving nowhere to turn but to a property tax hike. "I believe sales tax is a fairer tax than property tax, and that's what the issue will be about," Daley said.
