SF Supes To Hold Hearing On Muni Safety

bevan_dufty_muni.jpg

After a Muni train crashed into another train at the West Portal station, boo-booing 47 people, and two F-Markets streetcars brutally sandwiched a sport-utility vehicle, injuring six people, Supervisor (and possible mayoral candidate) Bevan Dufty has called for a "hearing before the City Operations and Neighborhood Services Committee to discuss Muni safety procedures that would prevent such crashes." The meeting will happen today. Lots of brows will be furrowed, blame will be placed, hands will be wrung. Not to be outdone, Supervisor Sean Elsbernd called for "a second hearing before the committee on the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's safety standards, including medical screening procedures for bus and light-rail operators."

So long as it can be implemented in a fashion that won't require holding any Muni employees accountable or potentially open to disciplinary action of any sort (as that would be a violation of the union's contract).

I demand a THIRD hearing where it can be determined whether "not having patrons die" is a good thing or not.

"We're from the government, and we are here to help you."

We're....... FUCKED!!

Ronnie was talking about the federal government. The local government damn well better be helpful.

Otay, if that's what you believe.......

Yeah, I like roads and public transportation and schools and police/fire departments and that kind of stuff. That's why we have a local government, right?

Cool, Kevin Spacey finally decided to let the dye job go.
