why is it always wallmart soldiers speaking and gets air time? what is the other side of the story?
ReplyDeletei listened to alderman brookins and his claims that wall mart will create 400-500 jobs, please somebody tell me how many will be lost? Best buy is about to leave, you think staples can survive?
if wallmart is so good why they create so much controversy everywhere they want to come?
proud to be American and please buy American but 80% of wallmart's products are made in china. lets all apply for a job in china. wake up

I agree Adonis and there are questions in my mind as to whether Alderman Brookins and the Mayor are being totally honest. Alderman Brookins has stated that there are no jobs in his ward but within a half mile redius of the proposed Walmart there are 300-500 jobs spread out among 5 businesses. Secondly he has stated retailers such as Costco had no intetested in expanding in the City of Chicago but Costco is opening a store on the Westside.
ReplyDeleteThe mayor is "playing" the faith community in an attempt to make him look good and the labor organizations look like the enemy. Also it leaves a question about the "Legacy Project", a developmenent that would be adjacent to Walmart, that both he and Alderman Brookins have supported. Sounds like the project is in jepordy and leaves the question has the church taken money from Walmart?
