There are some issues that do not directly impact us in Oro Valley. (Please see our next posting on the callous attitude of Wal-Mart in their treatment of one of their own.) Many of us are not surprised by Wal-Mart's shabby treatment.
In Ann Denogean's article in the March 28 Tucson Citizen, she relates the shameless stunt perpetrated by Rosemont Copper against some of the poor citizens looking for an honest job.
We in Oro Valley are all too familiar with the likes of Rosemont. Although, probably not as egregious, we all recall the way David Malin and his Vestar cronies did whatever they could to "snooker" the citizens of Oro Valley in believing they were bringing in a "unique, upscale" shopping mall. What do we end up with? The likes of a 24/7 Super Wal-Mart, with their lead-based Chinese imports!
We also haven't forgotten the way Vestar invited their supporters to a free cocktail hour PRIOR to a Town Council meeting where they all showed up with "I support Vestar buttons." Shameless!!!
