Wal-Mart Supercenter

Re “A Big-Box Ballot Bully,” editorial, Mar. 28: If the city of Inglewood had not unilaterally decided that Wal-Mart could not do business there, Wal-Mart would not have been forced to bypass Inglewood’s unthinking restrictions and bring its case directly to the people. It is certainly important to have an open discussion about how a business will affect the surrounding community, but Inglewood’s elected officials’ instinct was not to discuss but to restrict.
A Wal-Mart supercenter will bring astounding amounts of tax revenue to the city, as well as many good entry-level jobs that pay a fair wage, rather than the over-priced, career bar-code monkeys that are spawned at unionized grocery stores.
