DC Mayor Vincent C. Gray vetoed the Large Retailer Accountability Act of 2013. In a letter to DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, the Mayor cited six “fundamental misunderstandings” about the effects of this legislation:

1. The bill is not a true living-wage bill because it would raise the minimum wage only for a small fraction of the District’s residents;
2. The bill is a job-killer because is dissuades large retainers from investing in the District;
3. The bill would affect more retailers than many supporters think. In addition to Walmart, retailers such as Target, Home Depot, Wegmans and Lowe’s would be affected;

5. The bill does not help preserve existing jobs in underserved communities because there are few (if any) large retailers currently operating in these communities;
6. The bill would deal a huge economic blow to the city and delay development projects including those in underserved parts of the city which stand to benefit the most from new development and the presence of large retailers.
