Walmart Stores Inc., the nation's largest private
employer, is fuming about a ''living wage'' bill
approved by the D.C. Council that has an unusual twist:
It would apply only to certain large retailers, forcing
them to pay at least $12.50 an hour, nearly 50 percent
higher than city's minimum wage of $8.25.
