This is some pretty great news if you ask me. I can't believe a city as big and powerful as Chicago has actually stood up to Wally World. It is a huge step in the right direction, and the little blurb about Target not having any comment yet will hopefully be replaced by Target expressing full support. They are already well established in the city of Chicago, so I can't imagine them abandoning such a potential windfall (no Walmart to compete with), just because they have to pay people a little more. I know that they adjust their wages geographically all the time. Even the kids in Chesterfield started about a dollar higher than the Kirkwood minimum when that hideous monstronsity of a shopping center opened in the "Valley" (aka Flood Plain).
Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices is really good, too.
