Walmart will be an asset here

To the editor,
We definitely need the Walmart approved for Orange County.
The sooner the board of supervisors can give the final approval the better. There are many acres of land in the county that have been preserved for the Wilderness battlefields. It is impossible to preserve every acre of property that a Civil War soldier set a foot on. If that had happened there would probably not be any buildings in the whole county.
A Walmart would be a great asset to the county. It would provide much-needed shopping in Orange County, and jobs, and much-needed revenue. It is upsetting that a group comes in from far reaching areas to protest it. Robert Duvall from Hollywood, and Representatives Peter Welch from Vermont and Ted Poe from Texas, a letter in the Orange Review from a citizen of Minnestoa stating that Walmart would be an insult. They should worry about what is going on in their own states.
I do wonder if any of the above has ever done any serious shopping in Orange County. I doubt it because they would understand the need for a Walmart.
