I Just Pissed Of My Local Government

Asking for a Costo in lieu of a Wal-Mart.

He asked where I was going to pay for the 14 Acres it takes per store; I asked him about about the effort it took to transfer 2 square miles of undeveloped county land to the the property that L&N Railroad couldn't clean up after 50 and more years of operations and where the oppourtunities lie in my city.

How should I answer to a Rethuglican Rep or should I craft an answer to my 4th-term Democratic Mayor?

2. Look at the sales tax...

...generated per square foot per year for each, and they'll be asking YOU for the Costco!

3. Point out that costco HELPS local businesses increase profits by

lowering costs through discount buying for corporate clients.

And then tell them that WalMart KILLS local businesses by driving them out of business.

(That probably doesn't sound like it makes very much sense, does it?)

6. I love Costco

And have been a weekly customer for three years.

However, their pizza sucks. My only complaint.
