It looks as though Walmart will have the signatures it needs to put its planned Supercenter on an upcoming ballot, letting voters decide whether the project should move forward.
“To date 8,279 unverified signatures have been turned in,” Town Clerk LaVonda Pearson said via e-mail, with only 5,015 signatures needed and another five months left to collect them.

Americans for Prosperity
A few months ago, the San Diego City Council passed a new law that effectively bans Walmart-type stores. Supported by labor unions and special interest environmental groups, the Council required “big box” stores to pay for an economic impact analysis prior to building a new store. The motivation behind this mandatory report is that the results will show some type of economic impact, even a small one. The City Council would then have an excuse to deny the new store’s construction.

A recent editorial cartoon sums up the tension between average taxpayers and government employee unions. It shows two guys sitting at a bar. One, head in hand and looking glum, is labeled “public sector” and he says to his companion, “They’re trying to cut our pensions…” The other fellow, labeled “private sector,” replies, “What’s a pension?”

Apple Valley Review
Neither rain, nor cold, nor snow, nor the frigid winds of the High Desert could keep people from attending the Second Annual Teen Art Festival in Apple Valley.
“I can’t believe there could be so much talent in one place,” Maurice Moore said, as he weaved his way though the jungle of people, “Impressive indeed.”
The Feb. 26 festival drew 229 art enthusiasts and included 122 paintings, photographs and drawings, all created by 109 local middle school and high school students.
