THERE IS A LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM THE TARPON SPRINGS / WAL-MART ISSUE

For those who are not aware, there was a controversy last week in Tarpon Springs over Wal-Mart's wanting to build one of it's Supercenters there. So much so that over 400 people attended a City Commission meeting and speak for or against the idea, which eventually passed 3-2 at 6:45 Wednesday morning!

But as the St. Petersburg Times' Howard Troxler writes this morning, there is a lesson for all of us to be learned...while it was too late for the opponents in Tarpon Springs to do anything, it isn't always too late if people act early enough.
