Old--

So, it appears: (thanks to Don for those figures)

1) Giant has no problem making the 8% threshold.
2) Johns Hopkins, as a non-profit, only had to make 6% -which it did.
3) Northrop has certainly earned its exemption--by paying more than the median household income in Maryland.


What's wrong with Walmart?--with $11 billion profit in one year, it seems reasonable that it too could afford to make the 8% threshold--unless it wants to pay above the Maryland median income--which would also be just fine.


It's a perfectly reasonable question---and deserves a straight answer from you--for once.

With no whining about how Walmart was "targeted"

Thank you so much.
