I want you to read a recent blog post by a local news writer, on the site DCist.com. This article is going to talk about Walmart wanting to move in to DC, and how the Mayor/D.C. Government is reacting to it.
Answer each of these questions, in complete sentences, each answer should be at least two sentences.
1) What is the ultimatum (meaning a 'one or the other' choice) that Grey is giving Walmart?
2) Why does the DC government care where Walmart decides to put it's stores?
3) Does the D.C. government have the right to be involved in where a company wants to open new stores? Why or why not?
4) Would it make a difference in this situation if it was a smaller local company, with smaller stores instead of a very large company like Walmart?
Here is the story

Good Luck!
