To: Craig Rice, Montgomery County Councilman (D-Germantown)
No Walmart in Montgomery County!
Montgomery County Council: Don't rush a rezoning plan just to boost Walmart's profits. Walmart isn't right for our community.
Why is this important?
Walmart and a real estate developer are pressuring elected officials to rush a rezoning plan through the Montgomery County Council.
Councilman Craig Rice is pushing for the county to rush its normal rezoning. He says the community will be hurt if the county council doesn't push the proposal through. In fact, small businesses and Montgomery County workers will be hurt if Walmart comes to Aspen Hill.
A new store means big profits for Walmart and big headaches for Montgomery County. It means more poverty-wage jobs. And it means less business for small businesses.
