Wal-Mart gets into Chicago:
Chicago's city council Wednesday approved Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s plan to build its first outlet in the third-largest U.S. city following an impassioned debate about whether the world's largest retailer will usher in prosperity or misery.50% +1 of the aldermen are needed to approve a resolution. The first had 32 positive votes, the second only 25.But a second rezoning proposal that would allow a second Wal-Mart store in another impoverished Chicago neighborhood fell one vote short of approval, and the plan was referred back to a council committee.
