Brilliant. Solve a minor $30M a year shortfall with a $10,000M solution that is only marginally less subsidized (37% versus 53%) on an ongoing basis. Stick to "planning" and stay away from 3rd grade math!

And people wonder why Caltrain is going bankrupt. The management is inept, the CFO Gigi Harrington [portion deleted] could not manage a child's savings account. It is all about the good old boy system. Caltrain should go under so a real organization can run it properly. To much fluff at the top who does not know how to work within their own means.

Go straight through without destroying many homes and make it look like the way it should have gone in the 50's except for dumb SAN MATEO SUPERVISORS again......The only difference the is that the rich were big time contruction types from European b.g. that included the top banking families and some of whom had "questionable backgrounds" and because of their love for riches and grand houses, they started to attract the people who live here today.
Give me a certified gangster with a big heart over a politician any day....they get things done and don't drag down the poorer segment.
This is not a "tea party".........
