GM loses big-time

In our part of our rural, conservative county, we have an older Wal-Mart store (that I've never been in), but we stopped Wal-Mart dead in its tracks with its plans to built a "super Wal-Mart" in our area. Wal-Mart spent a ton of money on PR and political bribes to force it way. All it took to defeat Wal-Mart was a number of petitions signed by enough voters to let the county pols know they'd be out on their asses if they approved building the new store. Your neighbors on fixed or limited incomes thank you. Eisboch Many retirees were the most vocal against wal-mart's plans at the county meetings. As I stated, we already have a wal-mart. This is not a highly affluent county, by the way. It's still mostly rural, thank god. |
