TAKE THAT, WAL-MART!

Posted 4/8/04

INGLEWOOD, California (AP) -- Voters in this Los Angeles suburb rejected
a ballot measure Tuesday that would have allowed Wal-Mart to build a
warehouse-sized store while skirting zoning, traffic and environmental
reviews. With 25 of 29 precincts reporting, Inglewood voters opposed the
initiative, with 65.7 percent voting "no" and 34.2 percent voting "yes,"
said Gabby Contreras of the city clerk's office.
