I understand and agree with the need for competition... but how is having ANOTHER "discount retailer" in the area provide that? Aren't Target's prices standardized (at least in the metro area)? -- John Goodman p.s. Also... A little-known (and not highly-publicized) fact... Target and K-Mart (and, I suspect, WalMart, too) have a "price-comping" policy; bring in a competitor's ad which displays a lower price for an item(s), and get the merchandise for the lower price. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
