Hillary Clinton Returns Wal-Mart Money

Newsday reports on the ex-Wal-Mart board member:

Clinton returned $5,000 to the political action committee of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., a company with long ties to the Clintons dating back to their days in Arkansas, where Wal-Mart is headquartered.

Clinton campaign spokeswoman Ann Lewis said the money was returned "because of serious differences with current company practices."

The senator served on the Wal-Mart board from 1986 to 1992, and was close with the Walton family that created the nation's largest retailer.

But the senator signaled a new stance on the company's business practices in a speech last week, when she told the U.S. Conference of Mayors that the company should provide better worker benefits.

"Cities and states are saying we can't keep holding the bag here," Clinton told the conference, citing a new Maryland law requiring Wal-Mart to spend 8 percent of payroll in health benefits or contribute to insurance plans.

How do you like how Hillary Clinton got the old style Democratic party religion on Wal-Mart? Wal-Mart's company practices on unions were the same today as they were in the 1986-1992 era when Hillary was on the board of directors.Is there any evidence of Hillary speaking out at board of directors meetings for unions back then?? Does Hillary think people aren't going to go back and look at the her Wal-Mart record?? We'll see if the unions give Hillary a free pass on this issue.Anyway,no word yet on Hillary giving back union money with ties to New York city's five crime families.I guess that's acceptable money in the Democratic party.
