Emanuel task force: Raise Chicago minimum wage to $13 an hour by 2018

The Chicago Tribune reports on the morons who work with Rahm Emanuel:
Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s task force recommended Monday that Chicago’s minimum wage be ramped up to $13 an hour by 2018, an idea that comes as City Hall faces pressure to act on the issue while Democrats nationally try to make income disparity a campaign theme this fall.
There's more:
The task force recommended the current minimum wage of $8.25 be increased in each of the next three years by $1.25, with a $1 increase in 2018. After that, annual increases would be pegged to the rate of inflation.
Can you say higher unemployment in Chicago?
