Well actually, Walmart is likely to be built in Pajaro, thus draining Watsonville of tax income...

...Also, Walmart underpays its employees to the extent that many of them generally use up social services provided by the government. I realize corporations are profit motivated, I don't blame them for that - but I don't blame local communities for wanting to retain certain standards that are afforded to them by having more decent corporations...

Oh, and what jobs? You lose jobs from all the local businesses that used to prosper before a company that has over 70% of its products built in China...

Walmart is a shitty company, and I don't want Santa Cruz to turn into a big box wasteland.
