Lorain, OH Measure (2005)
Topics: Ballot Measures | Organizing
Voters in Lorain, OH defeated a Wal-Mart proposal measure by more that 2,500 votes. The people believe the Wal-Mart’s not good for Lorain, the lawyer for the group West Side Preservation told the Lorain Morning Journal. “It’s a great day for the underdog, in a David vs. Goliath battle. The little guy won… It looks like you can’t buy an election,’’ West Side Preservation said. ‘’We didn’t have a war chest. This was a basic, grassroots campaign.’’ Wal-Mart, however, did not seem to understand what happened to them. ‘’Obviously, we’re disappointed,” a spokesman for the company told the Journal.
