More than one group opposes big store

Editor,

What I think is a disgrace is the fact that Peter Olsen of Polson only mentioned in his letter to the editor in the Jan. 19, 2006, Lake County Leader is that the so called "left-wing wackos" are the only group in the local community that opposes progress of the Super Wal-Mart

I have lived in Ronan for the 36 years of my short life and can personally attest to the fact that I know local community members and business owners who are supporters of the right-wing Rush Limbaugh, mega ditto party, and they also oppose the big box store.

Opinions on this store, which serves more than the approximately 4,000 residents (U.S. Census, 2000) of Polson are rampant, and whether or not you agree with the new store concept, it is my opinion that it is inexcusable to put blame solely on one select group.
