Wal-Mart has applied for a 24-hour liquor license for its yet-to-begin-construction, not-supposed-to-be-a-24-hour-store.

If so, here are some bases for protesting:

Anyone else wonder why Jay Imperial seemed so adamant in setting the recall election date on February 28th? He kept saying, "That's the date of the next city council meeting!"

Does this mean he has accepted that he will lose the recall election, and was simply asking for one more paycheck before he retires from public life?

The big ole eucalyptus trees in the field south of Eldridge Rice School [I refuse to call it "the Wal-Mart site"] have been felled. Folks in hard hats were on site, and grading has begun.

But don't panic. Wal-Mart owns the land, and they do have a permit to grade. However, Judge Yaffe has not yet signed off on the revised EIR. So, until that litigation is fully resolved, what ever work Wal-Mart undertakes in the field south of Eldridge Rice School is at their own risk. Let's hope they spend a wad of money and then get shut down.

Jay, Gary, and Margaret: Take note. When even your friends are saying you screwed up, you screwed up!
