By The Book

As you know I am a huge Wal-Mart fan, but I think they are crossing the line here.

Wal-Mart sued Union County on Friday, alleging that its refusal to consider the company’s application to build a supercenter amounts to stonewalling.

The fact of the matter is:

In January, county commissioners imposed a special-use permit requirement for stores bigger than 50,000 square feet. The county’s Board of Adjustment must approve those permits.

and:

The company wants to build a controversial 206,000-square-foot store on 31 acres at Rea and Tom Short roads near Marvin and Weddington.

Therefore, they should have to follow the rules, just like everyone else.
