Wal-Mart's Effect, Letter to the Editor, by Donna Constantineau
published in The Kansas City Star, January 2005
Demonstrations held at Wal-Mart's annual convention at Bartle Hall, Saturday January 22, and Monday, January 31, 2005. Channel 41(KSHB) broadcast a short segment featuring the Monday January 31 demonstration, and that segment showed how disagreement existed over benefits of Wal-Mart. Closing remarks included an interview with K-State Agricultural Economics Professor David Darling's remarks of how studies show that a Wal-Mart store may provide short-term benefit in terms of jobs, but long term effects include net job loss.
