Christine Quinn, Still Not a Fan of Walmart

As we've mentioned a few times, mega-retailer Walmart wants to come to town and make us all into happy Walmart shoppers.

Quinn strong-armed the City Council into extending term limits alleging that the City needed Bloomberg during the financial crisis. That didn't stop small businesses all over town from going under. Of course the real reason she forced the council to extend term limits is to put four more years between her corruption scandal and her run for Mayor, hoping that NYers will forget.
