I'm pretty sure the "big developer" in question is Bill Gallaher and he's got his fingers in lots of local political pies. I think I read recently that he's even involved in the re-building talk.

If I got my scripts at CVS, I'd be switching to another pharmacy, or going online to Canada or Mexico.
