This will choke route 25, ruin home values, kill small businesses and local manufacturing jobs even more, and destroy the trail from Trumbull to Newtown

Having purchased a home in Monroe this past summer, I had no idea a Wal-Mart was planned for the town. I would most certainly have looked to another town had I been aware of the facts. I would urge anyone who knows the history of Wal-Mart's impact on every town it touches to sign this petition.

I have lived in Monroe since 1978 and alot has changed alot of good and alot of bad,I enjoyed the small town I grew up in and Building a Walmart is one step closer to making it away from that. I love Monroe and everything it offers but building a Walmart is Bad for traffic and this small community.

I have never and will never set foot in a Wal-Mart. Had I known this was afoot, I'd have purchased a home in another town.

Monroe is my home town. I firmly believe that the very character of the town would be permanently altered for the worse if Wal-Mart were permitted to build in Monroe. Where ever Wal-Mart sets up shop, local business suffer and fade away. The economy of the town suffers further by the influx of low wage jobs which are mostly part-time. They pay their employees minimum wage , or less, without benefits ( or offer ones they can not afford to pay into) . Wal-Mart's history is to retaliate against employees who speak up and try to negotiate for more. Furthermore: There is the traffic congestion issue which would ensue, ( Something I do not believe that Monroe can handle.) Finally: The support of sweatshop overseas labor which makes their "low, low, prices" possible is unconscionable. As for myself I consider Wal-Mart to be the "Evil Empire" of commerce. I go out of my way to avoid shopping at Wal-Mart. I hope you will avoid the temptation to give the town away through tax incentives. Please, keep Monroe, Monroe, and deny them a foothold in this special community.
