SFist Blotter

Guerrilla action or not, if the cops catch you giving out a counterfeit MUNI transfer for the MUNI fare strike, they'll cite you for a misdemeanor. If they catch you not paying, they'll get you for fare evasion. You'll have to take those First Amendment arguments to the judge.

MUNI's going to need all the extra quarters it gets from that fare raise anyways -- they just got hit with a $27 million verdict against them for the negligence of an employee truck driver who struck and killed a four-year-old girl at the corner of 24th and Potrero in 2003. The family claims that the city refused to apologize and refused to settle, which is why it ended up going to trial in the first place. MUNI had no comment, though the city attorney's office says they may appeal.

....and aw, man. John English, the Fairfield councilman who tried to plead out of a meth possession charge by claiming his nephew set him up for a reality TV show, was just rearrested at the Cache Creek Casino near Sacto with meth in his bag. Someone at the casino found a missing bag with meth in it, and then English went to lost and found to ask if anyone had seen his bag. After English IDed the bag as his, they arrested him, at which point he said the bag wasn't his. English is currently on probation for the first meth charge, so this probably won't end well.
