The Wal-Mart incentives request was withdrawn at Tuesday night's City Council meeting. Good.

The city may try other ways to help the project without cash incentives. While they're at it, the council also ought to strike retail incentives as an option altogether.

Even in an underserved area such as northeast Greensboro, they are bad public policy.

Indeed, Eric. I still remember some east Greensboro residents saying they wished they'd had the luxury of such a problem when people near the airport were complaining about the new FedEx hub.
