with firing managers

Good to see BART is feeling some stress to lastly cope with a few of its points. However what took so lengthy?

Oh, they’re working out of cash, that’s why. Clearly, BART administration is a part of the issue. Some or all have to be changed for efficient reform and management going ahead.

Trump trial should
be clear

The historic and unprecedented indictment of a former president of the US will go down as one of the historic occasions in our nation’s historical past. Beneath the present political polarization, I definitely hope that the long run trial will probably be performed in essentially the most clear approach potential, on reside tv. At a minimal, the cameras needs to be rolling anytime the jury is within the room so everybody will get to see the identical proof because the jury.

I can’t assist however consider the rationale why our Founding Fathers wrote the liberty of the press into the very first modification. As a result of they knew {that a} extra clear authorities is extra accountable and accountable to the folks. And I definitely hope, however I’m not very optimistic, that Fox Information agrees and televises the proceedings in full, in contrast to their protection of the Jan. 6 hearings and the Dominion case.

Senate ought to reject
giveaway to Massive Oil

It’s shameful that the Republican-led Home of Representatives has handed HR 1, a invoice that could be a massive giveaway to grease firms to allow them to pollute water across the nation.

For instance, some oil firms can get the go-ahead to construct initiatives that can pollute the San Francisco Bay close to the place I reside.

It’s hypocritical when the Republican Home of Representatives label their political opponents as socialists when in actual fact they’re doing socialism themselves by giving oil firms giveaways to do initiatives that will pollute the water. I urge the U.S. Senate to reject HR1.

At poll field, bear in mind
Dems’ empty guarantees

In his State of the Union tackle, Joe Biden and the Democrats stood up for seniors. However with their reckless and profligate spending driving persistently excessive inflation, Biden and the Democrats have turned their backs on seniors.

Anybody on a hard and fast revenue, usually seniors, has seen the worth of their pensions lower over the past two years, and there’s no signal that inflation will return anytime quickly to the two% degree.

Democrats all the time promise that all the pieces goes to be inexpensive, however they by no means ship. Do not forget that within the subsequent election.
