"Walmart to use ballot initiative to try to expand Milpitas store"

"Walmart will again try to expand its Milpitas store by nearly 18,460 square feet to allow liquor sales, groceries and 24-hour operation, according to documents filed today.

Walmart filed its intent to hold a 180-day signature-gathering campaign today to bring about a ballot initiative for special election this fall, countering Milpitas City Council's rejection of the same project last year."
