developers for Walmart bought out our city council
a few years ago. Now they have their 'Super Center' after the first CC denied them twice.

So given that this type of thing happens all the time, just what is going to happen now that the Supreme Court has ruled as it has?
Developers are screwing us already!

They did it to ours several years ago.

Only ours are so corrupt that they also gave them large tax abatements.

2. Hey, now Walmart can just buy entire downtown business centers...
kick out the current businesses and build right on top of them.

3. We aren't going to have one Super Walmart ~
in a community of less than 100,000 people we are going to have TWO!!!! All the rules were simply thrown out the window here !!!

More than half the CC seats & Mayor are up for election this year AND I'm going to be working like crazy to get some folks elected that have respect for our town.
