Depends, Bobert. What's the story? Is a zoning restriction being put on the ballot by referendum? In that case it's democracy and quite legal. If, on the other hand, Walmart (or any other company) is paying someone to put it on the ballot, then there's cause to complain.

Unfortunately, money seems to get things on referendum ballots.
