PARD has announced it will take its appeal of the Pullman Wal-Mart Supercenter to the 3rd District Court of Appeals in Spokane.
Good. Even though this appeal will cost Pullman taxpayers even more money, PARD will inevitably lose and have to recoup both the city's and Wal-Mart's legal expenses, not to mention losing the inevitable appeal bond that will be required. To see PARD's UFCW sugar daddies lose hundreds of thousands of dollars is worth a slight delay, as Wal-Mart couldn't build in these weather conditions anyway.
It is also very possible that the appeals court will not even choose to hear PARD's case, in which case this whole ordeal will finally be over.

I can't believe these people.
Oh well... it's all on their dime now (or at least it will be in the end). We'll all get some free heat this winter when PARD goes down in flames.
This is just getting ridiculous. You know back in the day...PARD used to be a brand of dog food. Evidently it still hasn't changed. How long will it take to find out if they will even hear it?
C'mon PARD, quit wasting our time. The people of Pullman and Whitman County want a Wal-Mart.
$10 says the members of PARD were rich spoiled children. And a pitcher of beer says PARD takes this case to the 9th Circus Court.
