Wal-Mart a good thing

I'm getting a little tired of reading negative comments about Wal-Mart. We finally get something good coming into the community, and all people want to do is complain about it.

Ecological concerns

I agree with Elisa Shackelton's letter to the editor. If we're going to be the new home to any large business, retail or otherwise, we need to demand that they're mindful about the ecological impacts such as runoff from the parking lots, gas stations, recycling programs and landscaping, to name a few. As rural growth continues, our land becomes that much more valuable. Let's not sell ourselves cheaply.
