Fresno’s Nordstrom deal stinks

“Fresno, one of two finalists...” For what? Sucker city of the year? Giving away tax dollars to Nordstrom? Catering to the rich and famous 1 percent, while the 99 percent give up needed public services?

I didn’t see San Francisco, Santa Barbara and San Diego on the short list because their workforces make more than $12.52 per hour that Fresnans are being asked to work for.

I’m waiting for the CEO of Nordstrom to ask Fresno for food stamps to finance his next gourmet meal. Greed has no shame.
