But, it's still a very bad idea, in my opinion, to pave over more land and put up unneeded buildings, etc. The corridor is just going to get worse than it is. I just hate to see this. But I realize if some think they can make money or benefit in some way by developing the corridor and/or build the mall, it will happen. I don't have to like it or agree with the reasons. </div>

<span>Whitman County needs new development in a location that can't be annexed by Pullman since the voters (in their infinite wisdom and aided by Tim Eyman) voted limitations on property taxes that turn out to be less than the rate of inflation. The only way they can stay in business is to grow the property tax base. That's why they're hot to grow business in the corridor.</span></div>
