With state bailout uncertain, BART board OKs budget with $93 million deficit and fare hikes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:27:56 GMT

With the fate of a requested state transit bailout uncertain, the BART board of directors this week approved a $5.1 billion, two-year budget calling for fare and parking fee hikes — as a projected $93 million deficit looms in 2025.Though the 2024 budget that starts in July is balanced, BART spokesman James Allison said Friday it was the first time the transit agency has approved a budget with a deficit.BART and other transit agencies have suffered a sluggish recovery from state lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, and say without a bailout to offset depressed ridership, they are heading off a “fiscal cliff.” The agencies have appealed to Gov. Gavin Newsom for a bailout in the budget that must be approved by Thursday.“Despite our best efforts to hold the line on expenses and grow revenues with modest fare increases, we are still facing a structural, ongoing budget gap,” said BART Board General Manager Bob Powers. “It’s a stark reminder tha...

OAKLAND — A Bay Area man suspected of aiding fellow gang members to murder a woman in order to prevent her from telling police what she knew about a triple homicide in Richmond has been offered a plea deal: admit to witness tampering, and get out of jail immediately.On April 10, 23-year-old Matias Mendoza-Mendoza accepted the deal, pleading no contest to a single count of dissuading a witness from testifying, a felony, with the expectation that prosecutors dismiss murder charges and move to sentence him to two years probation and one day in jail. Mendoza-Mendoza is set to go before Judge Morris Jacobson on June 13 for sentencing.Mendoza-Mendoza was released from jail later that day, under what is known as a Cruz Waiver, court records show. It is a legal term that allows defendants to be out of custody before they’re formally sentenced, with the understanding that if they’re implicated in criminal activity during the interim period they can face much stiffer consequ...

(CNN) — El expresidente Donald Trump presuntamente guardaba documentos clasificados en varios lugares de su resort en Mar-a-Lago, incluido un salón de baile público, un baño y un dormitorio.Según la acusación del fiscal especial contra Trump publicada el viernes, el complejo de Florida organizó más de 150 eventos sociales, incluidas bodas, estrenos de películas y eventos para recaudar fondos entre enero de 2021 y agosto de 2022, cuando el FBI ejecutó una búsqueda de los documentos aprobada por el tribunal en las instalaciones.Si bien el Servicio Secreto protegió a Trump y a los miembros de su familia después de que dejó el cargo, la agencia no fue responsable de las cajas o el contenido, y Trump tampoco dijo que había documentos clasificados en Mar-a-Lago, afirma la acusación.Algunos documentos clasificados contenían información sobre las capacidades nucleares y de defensa de Estados Unidos que requerían un manejo especial, según la acusación.Aquí es donde se almacenaron o enc...
