Wal-Mart Money At Work In Vermont

Wal-Mart's developer "spent thousands of dollars on a blitz of radio spots, full-page newspaper ads, lawn signs, multiple mass mailings, and a push poll." The poll asked people to agree or disagree with statements such as, "I am in favor of Wal-Mart because they offer low-cost products which benefit senior citizens and residents with low incomes." Wal-Mart and its supporters repeatedly branded "those in favor of the law as rich elites, derisively referring to them in newspaper articles as 'doctors' wives and all those trustee people.'"
