"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> The company handling three tanker cars that derailed in Martinez last week failed to apply enough brakes, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://cchealth.org/hazmat/pdf/ecoservices-2016-0120-FRA-Form-F-6180-54.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report \u003c/a>that Union Pacific filed with the Federal Railroad Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the firm, Eco Services, pulled eight cars into its plant near the Benicia Bridge last Wednesday, a dozen other cars they were separated from began rolling away and under Interstate 680.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's handbrakes on the cars to keep the cars stationary, and if they didn't set those handbrakes before they decoupled those eight, they could start rolling. And that looks like what happened,\" said Randy Sawyer, Contra Costa county's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer. \"It is a cause for concern.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Union Pacific report also found that the incident caused more than $13,000 in damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eco Services, Union Pacific and the Federal Railroad Administration have yet to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> The California Public Utilities Commission has opened an investigation into the derailment of three tanker cars carrying oil-refining chemicals in Martinez last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC's probe of the incident just south of the Benicia Bridge comes amid new disclosures that the company in charge of the train at the time lost control of a dozen cars carrying spent sulfuric acid just before the derailment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And county officials say the local agency in charge of responding to hazardous material incidents was not notified about the derailment until two hours after the cars left the tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company that was handling the material was Eco Services. Union Pacific delivered 20 tanker cars to the firm's plant in Martinez on Jan. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early the next morning Eco Services workers began moving eight of the cars into its processing facility, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://cchealth.org/hazmat/pdf/ecoservices-2016-0120-72-hour-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">company incident report\u003c/a> filed with county officials this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As soon as the separation took place, the remaining 12 cars started rolling southward and down gradient toward Marina Vista Ave[nue],\" wrote Anthony Koo, a senior environmental engineer at Eco Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that a dozen rail cars carrying chemicals were briefly out of control near a busy freeway, Interstate 680, and one of the region's major bridges prompted concern from the county's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer, Randy Sawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tanker cars \"were moving when they weren't supposed to be moving,\" Sawyer said in an interview. \"I would think they would have some kind of braking system that would keep them from doing that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the report, the three cars that left the tracks first passed under the I-680 overpass before hitting a derail device just west of the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sawyer said that device is a safety feature designed to prevent rail cars from entering a main track and colliding with a moving train. That safety system worked. No chemicals leaked from the three derailed cars, and no one was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sawyer also expressed concern about the delay in notifying his agency -- a process that took nearly two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would expect notification sooner,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Eco Services report, the derailment occurred at 6:45 a.m. on Jan. 20. The company says it notified Union Pacific 17 minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sawyer said the rail company then contacted the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, which then sent the county an email about the incident at 8:33 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eco Services said it made a \"courtesy call\" to the hazardous materials program just over an hour after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delayed notification was most likely because no hazardous materials spilled, but \"they did not notify us as quickly as we would have wished,\" Sawyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC, meanwhile, is looking into whether Eco Services or Union Pacific were following state regulations at the time of the derailment, that agency's spokeswoman, Constance Gordon, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eco Services has not returned calls for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Union Pacific spokesman says the company will cooperate with the CPUC in its investigation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Union Pacific delivered 20 tanker cars to the firm's plant in Martinez on Jan. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early the next morning Eco Services workers began moving eight of the cars into its processing facility, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://cchealth.org/hazmat/pdf/ecoservices-2016-0120-72-hour-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">company incident report\u003c/a> filed with county officials this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As soon as the separation took place, the remaining 12 cars started rolling southward and down gradient toward Marina Vista Ave[nue],\" wrote Anthony Koo, a senior environmental engineer at Eco Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that a dozen rail cars carrying chemicals were briefly out of control near a busy freeway, Interstate 680, and one of the region's major bridges prompted concern from the county's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer, Randy Sawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tanker cars \"were moving when they weren't supposed to be moving,\" Sawyer said in an interview. \"I would think they would have some kind of braking system that would keep them from doing that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the report, the three cars that left the tracks first passed under the I-680 overpass before hitting a derail device just west of the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sawyer said that device is a safety feature designed to prevent rail cars from entering a main track and colliding with a moving train. That safety system worked. No chemicals leaked from the three derailed cars, and no one was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sawyer also expressed concern about the delay in notifying his agency -- a process that took nearly two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would expect notification sooner,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Eco Services report, the derailment occurred at 6:45 a.m. on Jan. 20. The company says it notified Union Pacific 17 minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sawyer said the rail company then contacted the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, which then sent the county an email about the incident at 8:33 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eco Services said it made a \"courtesy call\" to the hazardous materials program just over an hour after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delayed notification was most likely because no hazardous materials spilled, but \"they did not notify us as quickly as we would have wished,\" Sawyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC, meanwhile, is looking into whether Eco Services or Union Pacific were following state regulations at the time of the derailment, that agency's spokeswoman, Constance Gordon, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eco Services has not returned calls for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Union Pacific spokesman says the company will cooperate with the CPUC in its investigation.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

After an initial testing phase, full-scale production is expected in 2017, with more than 1,000 new cars being phased into the existing BART fleet over a 10-year period.

Once the line extensions to Warm Springs and Livermore are completed, the system will require a bigger fleet, so the old cars will continue to be used for the foreseeable future, creating a new challenge for BART technicians. Once the new cars enter service, technicians will need to know how to work with both the old and the new systems. Train yards, like the one in Richmond, will have to work with parts and tools for both old and new cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next decade, the BART fleet will certainly be larger and more modern.

After an initial testing phase, full-scale production is expected in 2017, with more than 1,000 new cars being phased into the existing BART fleet over a 10-year period. (775 of those new cars have been confirmed, while funding for an additional 200 has not yet been secured.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the old BART cars cannot simply be retired. Once the line extensions to Warm Springs and Livermore are completed, the system will require a bigger fleet, so the old cars will continue to be used for the foreseeable future, creating a new challenge for BART technicians. Once the new cars enter service, technicians will need to know how to work with both the old and the new systems. Train yards, like the one in Richmond, will have to work with parts and tools for both old and new cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next decade, the BART fleet will certainly be larger and more modern. But much of the system’s infrastructure, like the rails and traffic control systems, remains outdated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown repeated his now-familiar call for fiscal responsibility in his State of the State address Thursday, laying out a case for his circumspect approach to budgeting -- including avoiding the expansion of anything that would increase state spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After seven years of economic growth, Brown continued to lay out the message of caution that has been the hallmark of his tenure since he returned in 2011 to the governor's office, 36 years after he first took the oath of office to lead California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/243114554\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, who is serving his fourth and final term, started on a light note, joking he could use the more than $20 million he currently has in a campaign account to change term limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was 41 years ago that I first spoke in this chamber. At that time, my father was rather surprised to see me make it to the governorship at such a young age. Now I’m kind of surprised that I am still here -- and three more years to go,\" Brown said to laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"28r48P19ReR9VQR9fVymSIJQNmOcGFiI\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor, who took over five years ago at a time of huge budget shortfalls and deep cuts, told lawmakers that another recession is certain and that state officials must prepare for it by squirreling away money and not expanding state services too ambitiously. Brown echoed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/07/browns-budget-mantra-caution\" target=\"_blank\">the arguments he made two weeks ago\u003c/a> when he laid out his budget proposal for the 2016-17 fiscal year, setting the state for a spring of battles with legislative Democrats eager to restore the cuts made during the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We live in a world today that is profoundly uncertain,\" Brown said. \"Here at the state Capitol we often think we have more control over things than we actually do. But the truth is that global events, markets and policies set the pace and shape the world we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor said no economists have accurately predicted the 10 recessions since World War II and noted that the state's deficits between 2000 and 2016 were seven times as large as its surpluses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Schools, child care, courts, social services and other vital state programs were deeply affected. So, too, were our universities, which had to reduce classes and double tuition,\" he said. \"I don't want to make those mistakes again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But anticipating pushback from Democrats and advocates, Brown stressed that the state has responded to growing inequality, saying California \"has not been passive.\" He cited a new income tax credit for the working poor, a minimum wage that increased to $10 in January, the state's staggering increase in health coverage for low-income residents and its expansion of an in-home care program for the elderly and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the benefits of these programs are enormous, so, too, are the costs -- both now and into the future,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown used those increased costs to pitch another cornerstone of his budget proposal: A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2016/01/07/browns-budget-plan-new-managed-care-tax-increase-ssi-benefits-more-medi-cal-enrollment/\" target=\"_blank\">new tax to fund Medi-Cal\u003c/a>, which is necessary because of a change in federal rules that will leave the state without $1 billion in health care revenue this summer. Brown, who needs Republican votes to enact the new tax formula, insisted, \"This is not a tax increase, no matter what anyone tells you. The arithmetic is simple: California comes out a clear winner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor also stressed his other budget priorities: Investing in state infrastructure, continuing to rethink the state's water system and fighting climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"BH4SmUT7y4h1plSFLVYa25e8N9cQ889f\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ended on a high note, listing the litany of gains California has made since he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This morning I have talked a lot about the difficulties that lie ahead, but let’s not forget how far we have come. In 2011, the state deficit was $27 billion, our credit rating was the worst in the nation and unemployment was 12 percent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, the budget is in surplus. Standard & Poor's has raised the state's credit rating three times. We have paid down accumulated debt -- $26 billion worth. We created a solid rainy day fund to offset the next economic downturn. We have increased funding for schools 51 percent. We are covering, under Medi-Cal, 13.5 million people, a 74 percent increase. We enacted -- for the first time -- an earned income tax credit. We raised our minimum wage, to $10 an hour, and that’s 38 percent higher than the federal minimum. And two million new jobs have been created and unemployment has dropped in half. Of course, the global recovery has a lot to do with that, so we should applaud, we can't take total credit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued: \"Yes, it is clear that California is still The Great Exception. We dare to do what others only dream of. Difficulties remain, as they always will. That is the human condition. And finding the right path forward is formidable.

Jerry Brown repeated his now-familiar call for fiscal responsibility in his State of the State address Thursday, laying out a case for his circumspect approach to budgeting -- including avoiding the expansion of anything that would increase state spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After seven years of economic growth, Brown continued to lay out the message of caution that has been the hallmark of his tenure since he returned in 2011 to the governor's office, 36 years after he first took the oath of office to lead California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/243114554&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/243114554'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, who is serving his fourth and final term, started on a light note, joking he could use the more than $20 million he currently has in a campaign account to change term limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was 41 years ago that I first spoke in this chamber. At that time, my father was rather surprised to see me make it to the governorship at such a young age. Now I’m kind of surprised that I am still here -- and three more years to go,\" Brown said to laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Brown echoed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/07/browns-budget-mantra-caution\" target=\"_blank\">the arguments he made two weeks ago\u003c/a> when he laid out his budget proposal for the 2016-17 fiscal year, setting the state for a spring of battles with legislative Democrats eager to restore the cuts made during the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We live in a world today that is profoundly uncertain,\" Brown said. \"Here at the state Capitol we often think we have more control over things than we actually do. But the truth is that global events, markets and policies set the pace and shape the world we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor said no economists have accurately predicted the 10 recessions since World War II and noted that the state's deficits between 2000 and 2016 were seven times as large as its surpluses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Schools, child care, courts, social services and other vital state programs were deeply affected. So, too, were our universities, which had to reduce classes and double tuition,\" he said. \"I don't want to make those mistakes again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But anticipating pushback from Democrats and advocates, Brown stressed that the state has responded to growing inequality, saying California \"has not been passive.\" He cited a new income tax credit for the working poor, a minimum wage that increased to $10 in January, the state's staggering increase in health coverage for low-income residents and its expansion of an in-home care program for the elderly and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the benefits of these programs are enormous, so, too, are the costs -- both now and into the future,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown used those increased costs to pitch another cornerstone of his budget proposal: A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2016/01/07/browns-budget-plan-new-managed-care-tax-increase-ssi-benefits-more-medi-cal-enrollment/\" target=\"_blank\">new tax to fund Medi-Cal\u003c/a>, which is necessary because of a change in federal rules that will leave the state without $1 billion in health care revenue this summer. Brown, who needs Republican votes to enact the new tax formula, insisted, \"This is not a tax increase, no matter what anyone tells you. The arithmetic is simple: California comes out a clear winner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor also stressed his other budget priorities: Investing in state infrastructure, continuing to rethink the state's water system and fighting climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ended on a high note, listing the litany of gains California has made since he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This morning I have talked a lot about the difficulties that lie ahead, but let’s not forget how far we have come. In 2011, the state deficit was $27 billion, our credit rating was the worst in the nation and unemployment was 12 percent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, the budget is in surplus. Standard & Poor's has raised the state's credit rating three times. We have paid down accumulated debt -- $26 billion worth. We created a solid rainy day fund to offset the next economic downturn. We have increased funding for schools 51 percent. We are covering, under Medi-Cal, 13.5 million people, a 74 percent increase. We enacted -- for the first time -- an earned income tax credit. We raised our minimum wage, to $10 an hour, and that’s 38 percent higher than the federal minimum. And two million new jobs have been created and unemployment has dropped in half. Of course, the global recovery has a lot to do with that, so we should applaud, we can't take total credit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued: \"Yes, it is clear that California is still The Great Exception. We dare to do what others only dream of. Difficulties remain, as they always will. That is the human condition. And finding the right path forward is formidable. But find it we will, as we have in the past and as we will again -- with courage and confidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's speech was warmly met by the Legislature, and in particular Democratic lawmakers.
