]]> Fri, 15 Jan 2010 11:28:34 UTC 6838485 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6734206?utm_medium=rss We absolutly do not need another Wal-Mart. There is already one in Hood River. It's just that simple.

]]> Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:04:27 UTC 6707292 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6695396?utm_medium=rss Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:44:58 UTC 6695396 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6694226?utm_medium=rss I strongly oppose the Walmart superstore for many reasons. It will destroy our downtown as it has done in many others. We do not need it here. The property should be used for industry as it was originally designed for. ODOT should not allow because of traffic problems.

]]> Mon, 14 Dec 2009 04:49:22 UTC 6694226 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6692526?utm_medium=rss Walmart may offer good prices on there product. But the employees are paying the price with low wages and poor health care. My daughter worked for them a few years back. They were not a great company to work for. I am union I make a liveable wage. They just keep our young single moms and parents on welfare. So we really are paying the price with high taxes to support welfare system. so walmart can be a billion dollar co. I buy union and shop union !!!!!!!!!

]]> Sun, 13 Dec 2009 07:22:03 UTC 6689180 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6686711?utm_medium=rss We need to think about what this store will do to our current establishments,I feel it will destroy our small community.

Wal-Mart would be an economic blight upon our local business owners and serves no long term benefit to our community. Keep The Dalles unique, not paved over and a mirror image of every other city/town that has given way to the supposed benefits of a having a super power store in their city. It will only hurt us in the long run.

So far the wetland issues are many and have not been considered in the WM approval process so far by The Dalles City Council.

]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:39:37 UTC 6555001 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6551617?utm_medium=rss Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:04:22 UTC 6551617 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6550882?utm_medium=rss Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:07:36 UTC 6550882 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6550701?utm_medium=rss I do not think a Wal Mart Super Store is needed in The Dalles, OR. The inaccuracy of the environmental plan for The Dalles shows the lack of respect for the area. The lack of respect for their employees re: low wages and discrimination against women also shows the only thing that matters is money. Bigger does NOT necessarily mean better! If residents want to go to a Super Store, Portland is not that far away and there is good public transportation to it. Please consider the impact to our area

]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:19:38 UTC 6550701 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6547333?utm_medium=rss A UFCW study in Lewis County, WA showed that a Walmart Supercenter with grocery would significantly shift the relatively fixed amount of groceries bought in the county, from stores with union employees with benefits to Walmart employees without similar benefits. This increases the demand for public assistance.

I'm very disturbed about the proposal to build a Wal-Mart Super Center.

]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:35:34 UTC 6547239 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6547216?utm_medium=rss I grew up in The Dalles and am strongly against bringing a Wal-Mart in the community. I have many family and friends that live and work in the community and I think a Wal-Mart would be devistating to the local economy and those living their lives in that environment. Say NO to Wal-Mart!

]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:27:13 UTC 6547216 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6547179?utm_medium=rss Dont kill our local small businesses. Say no to Wal Mart!

]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:09:22 UTC 6547179 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6546053?utm_medium=rss I believe that the development of a Wal-Mart super center in The Dalles will negatively impact the economy in the gorge by forcing small local competitors out of business. I am also concerned about the environmental impact of the proposed development site. Do not allow the WalMart super center plans to move forward.

]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:53:15 UTC 6546053 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6546014?utm_medium=rss Please stop the destruction of wildlife habitat for corporate greed. Let us leave the Gorge it's beauty, for it is why we live here and why so many come to visit. Once we persue the path taken by so many suburbs our unique identity and spirit will be lost.

]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:44:31 UTC 6546014 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6545850?utm_medium=rss there is already plenty of large store shopping in the dalles, a super walmart will only hinder the small or reg. stores struggling to stay open now and I do not want another construction project damaging the local wetlands and wildlife!

]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:00:13 UTC 6545850 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6529800?utm_medium=rss Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:26:56 UTC 6529800 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6497204?utm_medium=rss A super store will hurt local business. Takes money out of the community.Local people will pick up the tab for new streets. It is a low paying company that is not good for small comunities.

]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:03:20 UTC 6497204 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6478669?utm_medium=rss Please allow discussion of all issues surrounding this huge change in the character of The Dalles.

Where is the economic impact study? On what set of economic data or analysis was the following statement based on, from an elected City Councilor of The Dalles at the hearing where they voted for the Walmart: "Walmart is the stimulus package for The Dalles."?

I feel that our voices in opposition or of concern were not listened to. The city council and the City have just accepted the WalMart representatives word regarding the eco, economic and traffic impact @ face value. I don't feel the reports were critically evaluated. WalMart has a long history of taking advantage of small naive towns. I hope T.D. isn't going to be one of them!

City council members who skirt this right will not be re-elected!
Why develop virgin land when we have plenty of space in need of development within walking distance of our population?
Do we really need to replace existing busnesses with a Wal-Mart?

]]> Wed, 4 Nov 2009 01:04:27 UTC 6423094 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6422666?utm_medium=rss A full and fair hearing is a must for a project of this magnitude. The citizens of The Dalles and surrounding area must feel as though their role in a government "of the people and by the people" is not stymied by anyone or anything.
