If anyone knows of sites that discuss other groups who have been successful or have not been successful in keeping a Walmart out of their area please PM or post them for me...

I have agreed to do as much internet research and contacting of these groups as possible.

Steph ... I like WalMart ... it's just there are already three Super WalMarts within 10-15 miles of where we live (and two more only a few miles further along with two Sam's Clubs) ... so another seems a bit much. Also, we've got some nice stores in town that I don't believe will survive the Walmart.

That'll be too bad.

For all my friends who have asked me how the fight is going I'd thought I show you...Things just got nasty nasty nasty

They offered "six figures" to willingly and knowingly destroy an ecosystem. Bastards! (and not in the sexy sense of the word, although this one planner is )

"he wasn't bribing anyone - he was just presenting the group with options"

Option 1 - Accept my check for six figures and change your mind.

Option 2 - Continue caring about the neighborhood you live in...and he doesn't.

Hmmm...can I use his line in my defense if I ever decide to bribe someone? I'll have to try and let you know how it works out. When I get out of prison in 15 years!
