In this week's News and Notes, we counter Walmart critics in NYC and D.C. with our Chicago success story, the swipe fee debate hits home in the Windy City and Walmart's revamped pricing structure helps you save money and live better.

In Chicago, We Know from Experience that Walmart Brings Jobs and Prosperity Recently, critics in New York City and Washington, D.C., have claimed that for every two jobs Walmart creates, three are lost.
