Battles against Wal-Mart have become so commonplace, that the retailer has admitted they expect to encounter organized opposition every time a store goes through a hearing. The admission came at a project being challenged in Hawaii.
The new citizen’s group, Kapolei First, turned out in force recently to let Wal-Mart know that the residents in this neighborhood do not want them around. "Wal-Mart has billions of dollars to spend on sneaking this into our community," the group's spokeswoman, Carolyn Golojuch, told the Star Bulletin. "We have to inform our neighbors about the unprecedented traffic nightmare that is being presented."
