> Hi All,
> 
> I wanted to bring to your attention that yesterday the Chicago City
> Council passed their 2020 Budget.  Within the Budget, there was a
> provision to phase out over a 4 year period Section 14C in Chicago.
> Access Living which is the local Independent Living Center issued a
> press release on the topic which the following link is below:
> 
> https://www.accessliving.org/newsroom/press-releases-and-statements/subminimum-wage-phaseout/
> 
> This is great news because this is the third city in the nation who
> passed somekind of city ordinance outlawing the practice.  In 2023
> Section 14C will be phased out and Disabled Chicago Workers will earn
> $15 which will be their minimum wage at that time!
> 
> Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving to all!
