Judge approves Wal-Mart Supercenter in Janesville--Sam's Club--Ignores Planning Commission failure to order impact study

If a city does not want to consider the impact of traffic on the community and the impact of a big box store on the business climate, why not just change the name of the city to "Wal-mart" and let them run the town. The judge in this case seems to think that because he can read the english language, he can do as he wants and can disregard the requirement of an impact study.

If this decision stands, it is bad news for all small cities that want to preserve their local business. Click on the post line to see the article from the Janesviile Gazette this morn. What do you think on this issue?

    This is very scary, a judge just ignores a planning comm. error? Is there more to this story, what was his reason?
