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.
