Did you see this heart wrenching story of Debbie Shanks on CNN?
If you need another reason to stay away from Wal-Mart, this may be it.
Please read the plight of the Shanks family, and Wal-Mart's totally unbelievable callous attitude.

Oro Valley On List Of Top 100 Places For Small Business
The headline in the Az Star Business section March 28, says it all.
Why then would we want to give away our tax dollars? The rating as 44th best by the Fortune/Money Group Division of Time Inc. is great news.
Why not have our Economic Development people use that to entice new Hi Tec businesses, in lieu of giving away tax dollars?
In a recent address to the Town Council, former Economic Development Administrator, David Welsh said something foolish about "blackmail," as it pertained to the Sanofi-Aventis constuction tax rebate.
This is the same Mr. Welsh, who after taking a business trip to Portland Oregon for Oro Valley, quit is job to work for TREO (Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities.)
Now he has the audacity to tell us how to spend our tax dollars.
Perhaps a good start for the new Town Council to save us money would be to discontinue our "contribution" to TREO. When Welsh shows he can help us gain new businesses (without giveaways), we can re-institute that "contribution."
