Look for a lot of new local ballot measures challenging Wal-Mart expansions in Orange County, California. This story from the OC Register says that the company is planning expansion in the OC, adding groceries to existing discount stores. Grocers and the labor movement, small but growing behind the Orange Curtain, won't be happy, and here's betting they'll be urging city councils all over the county to enact laws to stop it. Wal-Mart has not hesitated to challenge such restrictive laws at the ballot. And labor has been happy to challenge Wal-Mart on the ballot. The winners? Political consultants, who should see a lot of new business. And they won't be spending the money they make at Wal-Mart.
