Cindy Parola posted a column yesterday on Wareham Week, home to power elitists and the odd few landowners with visions of Walmart sugar plums dancing through their heads, the same dim bulbs shouting into the silence over at the Standard-Times.
Some of Parola's thoughts are worth discussing, if only to lure her here for our blood libels. Wind Cindy up, she's fun to watch!
The former selectmen recalls Walmart campaigned to expand 10 years ago and rejected the same property as too expensive. Nearby development since then, Parola says, reduced up front costs and make that parcel more attractive now.
The BOS allowed AD Makepeace to skate free last year, Parola argues, and the current regime should condition approval on Walmart's building us a new police station.
No Walmart mitigation will offset the loss to East Wareham and surrounding communities but the deal is done, she says, a forgone conclusion.
How does she know this? Ask her!

A new report based on -50- studies of Wal-Mart openings finds the company costs more jobs than it creates, depresses wages, and increases retail vacancies and tax burdens for government programs.
