Petition drive to ban Wal-Mart in the final stage
With about a month left, a group bent on banning a new Wal-Mart in Redlands is close to having enough signatures for an Anti-Wal-Mart initiative to show up on a June 2010 ballot. The Good Neighbor Coalition is a Redlands-based volunteer organization trying to gather enough signatures of Redlands voters for an initiative that could ban Wal-Marts - and similar retailers - from building in Redlands. The group has until mid-October to gather signatures from at least 15 percent of Redlands’ registered voters for the initiative to appear on a ballot.
