Having been a bit tough on WalMart when it donated $1 million to start, I have had to change my opinion. They're up to $15 million at this point. I believe it is fair to say I jumped the gun. I appreciate what they are doing.

Quick tally from all the Walmart aspects totals around $35 Million.
That is a hefty amount.

As Wal-Mart answers its critics in the time ahead, Flickinger said the company would do well to remember "consumer and community support in these tough times rather than (taking) a scorched earth approach to organized labor." Yeah, like that's gonna happen. Wally despises unions. Always has, always will.
A store in Canada had voted in the union. Wally's response? Close the store. Hardball!!

HA...as if any union would allow its members to work the long hours or take physical risks to get the goods into dangerous areas!
And how much have the unions given?

Anyone remember "Two Guys" stores? They went Union and 5 years later they went belly up. My mother lost a good paying job when they went bust all because she supported the short term gain brought by the union.

"Wal-Mart served the city far better than any private or public institution," he said.
The state/local and federal response really should be compared to Wal-Mart. I hope they do this during the hearings. Wal-Mart made decisions and moved before the disaster.
How did Wal-Mart know so much and accomplish so much when the government entities had so many failures?
