WASHINGTON (Oct. 23) - Federal officials arrested more than 300 illegal workers at 61 Wal-Mart stores across the country early Thursday morning and searched the Bentonville, Ark., office of one of the retail chain's corporate executives Is this really the type of business practice we want to encourage to locate in Winona? I think not! Dean A. Lanz
