Ted,<br> <br> That is where they are going to build the new SuperWalmart. <br> <br> Whitman is just thrilled that Moscow Elites gave them all their future property tax revenues and sales income. <br> <br> I am going to go to the Super Walmart, just like everybody else making less than 50K a year. But I think it is upsetting that all the taxes are going to Whitman County instead of to Latah which is why I wanted a store here, it was going to happen anyway. The 6% sales tax on food at Winco will be enough to send all the college students the 200 feet west to Super Walmart instead of Winco. <br> <br> Do the math. If Walmart is 5% cheaper than Winco, plus 6% not taxed, that is an 11% difference in price. If a college student spends about $250 a month on groceries, at a wage of $5.15, that is 5.3 hours of work saved by going to Wal Mart instead of Winco. If a college student works only about 50 hours a month, that is 10% of their wages saved. What college
student isn't going make the little effort to save that much of their meager earnings?<br> <br> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br> <br> <br> <br><br> <br> <br><br><b><i>Dan Carscallen <areaman@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Ted asks:<br> "Does anyone know if the mall on the Washington St. side of the<br>Moscow/Pullman Hwy. is still going forward?"<br><br>Yes it is.
