Mark Maliwauki, County Business Development Coordinator, is a waste of Harney County taxpayers money. His salary could be better spent on the community rather than in his pocket. I really think Grasty should resign, as well. His $50,000.00 plus a year salary could be put to use on roads instead of in his pocket.

Why would Wal-Mart be interested in Burns to begin with? Wal-Mart needs communities with a VIABLE economic future…until Burns figures out that bringing in industry is a good thing (Kind of like the last Wal-Mart basher), the community will never experience real growth. Look at the past, life was good when timber was booming and you all were content that things would always be good…well, guess what, things are not good now but if you all pull your heads out of the sand, there may be hope yet…expand!

Walmart would be a bad idea, the town would be no more…a ghost town. Supercenters would eliminate the need for small businesses like Kings, Big R, Rite Aid, B&B, and all of downtown. Walmarts are bad because they consolidate people’s many needs into giant socioeconomic determing town destroyers. They also promote the importation of goods from China.
