Supporters of the Large Retailer Accountability Act (LRAA) reacted to yesterday's veto by DC Mayor Vincent Gray with disappointment, anger and a call for City Council to override the veto. “I am incredibly upset, disappointed, and angry that Mayor Gray has decided to stand with Walmart and other large corporations instead of with the residents of this city," said Kimberly Mitchell, a Macy’s employee and lifelong Ward 7 resident. "The Mayor’s decision is hardly surprising," added Reverend Graylan Hagler, of Plymouth United Congregational Church of Christ and Faith Strategies. "This is exactly what Walmart’s lobbyists said would happen.  The Mayor’s office and Walmart have been working together to defeat this bill from the start.” Metro Council President Jos Williams, attending the AFL-CIO Convention in Los Angeles, said that "the American labor movement just recommitted to winning fair wages and economic justice for all American workers" and called on the DC City Council to "stand up for DC workers and override this veto." Respect DC noted that Gray’s veto came just two days after the Fair Political Practices Commission in California announced that it would be investigating whether Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson had a conflict of interest in a vote on a big box bill due to charitable donations he solicited from Walmart and the Walton Foundation. LRAA supporters are now targeting Council member Tommy Wells to provide the 9th vote for an override: click here to email Wells.
