WAL-MART STILL AT IT!!!!

>Walmart---Still at it in Morgantown
>In case you had not heard, Walmart is still trying to get approval to build
>a new superstore on a village site and burial ground in Morgantown. While
>Walmart�s actions have been the subject of numerous protests they are
>continuing with their plans to build. Last month, we believed that this
>desecration had been stopped and that there was less likelihood that they
>would be successful in acquiring the land and getting permission to gain
>access to the highway. Walmart has now countered with a PR campaign and the
>offer to somehow set aside the "most sensitive areas". It appears likely
>that the Department of Highways will give them their way and allow the road
>access and the WVU Foundation (which owns the land and is salivating over
>the millions they expect from the sale) will sell them the property. The
>only way we have to stop this is to persuade Fred VanKirk from the WV
>Highway Department NOT to allow them the access to the highway and to
>persuade the WVU folks that this is evil business. Calls to the Highway
>Department and to the WVU Foundation are totally appropriate---be polite but
>firm.
