Mayor Daley Says Chicago Has Bad Business Climate

The Chicago Tribune reports on Mayor Daley's criticism of the Big Box ordinance passed this last week:
"Everybody can go out to the suburbs. They'll take all the money you want," said Daley, who said the big-box stores will build outside the city, costing jobs and tax money if the law goes through. Daley said the stores generate $51 million in sales tax for the city each year.
and this word of advice for young people:
"These are all beginning jobs," Daley said. "Young people, starting out for the first time. Now, I tell them you can't be here in Chicago. Go out to Lansing. Go out to Calumet City."
It appears Chicago is run by high priced unions.No wonder its' losing jobs and population.
