Walmart pays out

It was confirmed today that Walmart paid out a $400,000 settlement earlier this year over a lawsuit by the Garvey School District and Save Our Community, a non-profit corporation.

But who got the money?

The attorneys. All of the money went straight to attorney's fees, said Cory Briggs, the lawyer who represented both Garvey and SOC. The issue came to light recently as rumors have surfaced and some questioned the "secretive settlement," including at last night's council meeting.

More to come on the story later.
