WHY NOT WALMART?

Real-life experiences and peer-reviewed studies show that a Walmart Supercenter at Suburban Plaza will:

• Add to traffic in the already-congested roads surrounding the center
• Jeopardize the lives of people being served by emergency vehicles
• Lower property values, when the housing market is at a record-low
• Disrupt the livelihoods of small business owners
• Cause a net job loss as Walmarts destroy 3 jobs for every 2 created
• Erode the middle class with low-wage jobs and underemployment
• Add pressure to taxpayer-funded programs, such as Medicaid
• And more
