Last week I asked readers to send questions in about PG&E charges. I'll be posting some of them here.

But in the meantime, readers might also be interested to know that three Merced City Council members want your questions about Wal-Mart.

Council members will be touring a Wal-Mart distribution center in Apple Valley next week. Wal-Mart wants to build a 1.2 million square-foot distribution center in southeast Merced.
Council members John Carlisle, Joe Cortez and Jim Sanders will be going to Apple Valley on Wed. July 16 to see a facility similar to the one proposed for Merced. Council members Michele Gabriault-Acosta, Noah Lor and Bill Spriggs toured the same plant in late June.

You can email your questions to the council at citycouncil@cityofmerced.org [2], or mail them to Merced City Council, 678 W. 18th St., Merced, CA 95340. You can also call (209) 385-6834.
