According to this article, Murphysboro approved design plans for Wal-Mart Supercenter at Murphysboro. Wal-Mart advanced a secret meeting with members of the public works committee for building at Murphysboro even though the inhabitants didn’t want to do that. However, the major couldn’t know this situation, so major announced to inhabitants about building at Murphysboro because of the Freedom of Information Act request.
Wal-Mart has three main problems in its process of building a Wal-Mart. There is one example about Murphysboro. Although Wal-Mart could build at Murphysboro, they advanced a secret meeting without opposing people. Let’s consider what is wrong about building a Wal-Mart in Murphysboro.
First, Wal-Mart ignored the freedom of information of its inhabitants. They had a secret meeting with members of the public works committee that if Wal-Mart can build at Murphysboro, they will support building 1llinois 13 intersections. However, Inhabitants didn’t know that before the mayor announced about that.
Second, Wal-Mart ignored the opinion of inhabitants. Actually many people don’t want Wal-Mart to build at Murphysboro because they want to keep having an old town. Therefore, they don’t need Wal-Mart Supercenter. However, Wal-Mart can continue on their project to build at Murphysboro because they usually use secret meeting with members of the public works committee.
Third, Wal-Mart used a shallow technique. They said that they would support Illinois 13 highway if Murphysboro approved their plan. I think that it is not real support for Murphysboro but a kind of flattery. Also, Wal-Mart will be satisfied with spending money for Illinois 13 highway by the high price of its goods. Actually, Wal-Mart deprived a privilege of the inhabitants to choose stores. It is truth that many small stores, which are various stores, are killed by Wal-Mart Supercenters. Also, goods of Wal-Mart have expensive taxes. In fact, goods of Wal-Mart are cheaper than any others, but they are of bad quality.
In conclusion, Murphysboro is not a possession for one person, but a possession of the people who live in Murphysboro. Of course, a member of an assembly, like a mayor, can decide about that, but opinions of inhabitants are a more important thing than any others. I am really disappointed in the behavior of Wal-Mart and the people who have power.
