That is why I am unhappy with the lack of solid answers to many questions that have risen that neither Nestle nor our City Government has not yet answered. Questions like what damage will the trucks do to our tourism, like what route will the trucks take, who will pay for the needed upgrade and left-hand turn lane needed for the Frontage road.

That edition was distributed in Post Office Boxes in Cascade Locks as a free item obviously meant to entice people to subscribe. Mistaken information should be corrected as soon as possible and in the same media as first presented. I would also like to point out that the letter was written solely by Mayor Masters, and was not brought up previously in any Council meetings, nor was it proffered for a vote by Council members. I understand the need for &#039;scoops&#039; and for timely reporting even within a small community such as this one, yet wish the HRNews would not present facts until they have occurred.

I am ashamed they have decided to approach this issue with a belligerent and accusatory frame of mind. As well-intentioned their method might be, not all of Cascade Locks agrees with it.

They better realize that small towns like this have long memories, and do not forgive very easily.

The personal insults add nothing to the conversation, insults everybody on disability and shows the rest of us your prejudice.

Insults to other posters can get you censored on this forum.

Chief Pricher was not dismissed. He chose to resign his position with our city. I refer you to your own headline of June 28th, 2011. And I would hope to see a correction of this error.

Walton Enterprises LLC owns an estimated 1,680,506,739 shares of Wal-Mart stock (2010 figures.) The entire Wal-Mart company is divided into 3,636,547,192 shares. That means that the family holds somewhere around 46.2% of the firm. In addition to their equity stake in Walton Enterprises LLC, each of the individual family members owns somewhere between 2.8 million and 11 million shares of Wal-Mart Stores stock outright, in their own name.
