“Costco too good to be true”

My letter to the editor is published in the current issue (Friday, October 1, 2010, p7) of the Shoreline Times. Here it is:
To the Editor:
Is Costco really “good” for Guilford? Not so much.
Say “goodbye” to Guilford’s local businesses. If local businesses are not offering enough jobs now, rest assured that those currently employed will be at risk of losing their jobs. Costco sells baby supplies, books, baked goods, deli foods, produce, beauty supplies, hardware supplies, dietary supplements, jewelry, sporting goods… Imagine the businesses in Guilford that sell these products with “closed” and “for sale” signs in front of them. Is this a price worth paying?
If Costco is built, it will allow the door to open for more megastores in Guilford. Preserve local businesses. Preserve Guilford.
