Naw - I think I'll call my elected representative and make sure all
relevant statutes are fully complied with by WallyWorld, and ask that
they receive zero tax incentives, AND, when it comes time to sit down
with the local zoning board, I'll add my opinion on whether or not
WallyWorld is in the best interests of our community.
But I'm guessing that *you* wouldn't want to work there, if that were
the only game in town, even.
It's easy to talk big in the comfort of a cushy job that is nothing
like what WallyWorld would make you do...
