Letter: The quiet majority

The link below is a letter that was published in The Daily Astorian on May, 24, 2013.

Letter: The quiet majority

Three cheers for Jeff Jacques and his support of Walmart and the silent majority of Northwestern Oregon and Southwestern Washington (“Walmart welcomed,” The Daily Astorian, May 10). For every so-called winner in this anti-Walmart campaign, there are also big losers, and they are the area shoppers and the unemployed.

As Jacques has said, the anti-Walmart voices are the same ones that shot down liquefied natural gas facilities, the coal facility in Longview, Wash., and soon, I’ll bet, the shipbreaking facility at Tongue Point. There have been no new major employers since the fish canneries and the lumber mill disappeared.

I sincerely hope that Walmart and the city of Warrenton continue their battle against the good ol’ boys, the do-gooders and The Daily Astorian so that the quiet majority can be counted as winners.
Sixty-five bike racks in Warrenton? Get real.
