Why Grayson, KY may never have a Walmart… (and why it’s okay)

One of the most common things I see people in this town asking for is a Walmart. It’s something I’ve never fully understood, for several reasons.

That fee began at $50,000, but it has now ballooned to more than five times that amount, and she has refused to pay it, continuing to fight the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme C...
