Wal-Mart in Chicago follow-up

This summer, as I noted on Marathon Pundit last week, Chicago's first Wal-Mart will open.

For those on the Left, especially labor unions, that's one Chicago Wal-Mart too many.

After my morning run today, I stopped by the Niles Wal-Mart too pick up some software. I took an informal survey, but of the cars I saw in the Wal-Mart parking lot, about four out of every five had one of those distinctive (and expensive) Chicago vehicle stickers on the passenger side window.

My point? Even though Chicago is a heavily Democratic city--there are 50 alderman serving on Chicago's City Council, just one is a Republican--at least in the Niles Wal-Mart parking lot, the citizens are voting with their wallets in suburban Niles.

In Illinois, a percentage of sales tax revenue is returned to the community from which it was purchased.
