This CARB worker seems to be a little selfish here. We have been asking for years for laws coming from Sacramento, CARB, BAAQMD to make sure that every school in every CA city gets bike lanes so children can commute to school very healthy and very sustainable. You would think California D…
These are the county's "Equity Focus Areas" - the reason being the closeness to 101 and the air pollution coming with this. SSF is extra harmed, because it's somewhat shaded by the San Bruno mountains.
And yet, while the county's Democrats always like to use these "most vulnerable" …

TBot, I'm glad you acknowledge my superior knowledge about bike programs, which in turn also makes me an expert on everything health, aging, quality of life, education, and of course addiction and fossil fuel.

This is the part of "car-centric" cost no one ever talks about.
Just like we are using Education funding to "harden" our school against domestic gun terrorism, we also have to use General Fund money to "harden" our restaurants and public spaces against car violence and drunk drivers…
Schools always get the short end, since the money is going to the districts and mostly staying there. Most districts here spend <30% on real classroom education.
That number should be 60%. But the good news is the superintendents and all their directors get rich and fly first cla…
You and I have no information how Bibi tricked Donnie into this, but the director of the National Counterterrorism Center has full clearance - and he just resigned.

TBot, remember what 'CA is Burning' was teaching us earlier: MAGA's mantry is "every accusation is also a confession".
It's cute you think I'm fond of Democrats, when you are the one supporting them so passionately:

... and let's not forget the program was "totally obliterated" just last June during Israel's 12-day war. Were they lying then or now?

This is the typical bait and switch by Jackie Speier & Friends.
Sales tax (Measure K) has nothing to with with the Education tax (VLF) - Measure K tax is still flowing.
Measure K was clearly advertised as a sales tax to give money to "equitable" causes. That sales tax is s…
