Living wage update

I guess the Chicago City Council will vote on the living wage ordinance today. Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune ran a piece by columnist Eric Zorn that went against the paper's conservative opinion page, which Zorn republished on his blog (click here). He brings up some of the same points that I made in my previous posting on the issue, including the one about the Santa Fe ordinance, but Mr. Zorn said it better.

[26 JUL 2006 17:10:00] Update: The Chicago Tribune website, in a "Breaking News" item, is reporting that the living wage ordinance was voted on this afternoon and passed 35-14 -- a veto-proof majority.
