Has Walmart lost its mind? Why expose your company to the whacky WDC population?
I actually agree. They will need too many security guards and the place will need a substation that runs a shuttle to the local lock-up. If the Mayor doesn’t sign it, there is no guarantee that the next one won’t. Remember, this is a city that pretty allowed the teachers union to elect this mayor. They are run by the few unions left and the strongest (most influential) is the teachers union.
There must have been some pretty strong assurances in those meetings in Bentonville for WM to make this commitment.
