At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

But the proposed development, dubbed the Berryessa BART Urban Village, which would be built next to the city’s new and only BART station, would radically alter the property — and the market — to make way for more than 3 million square feet of office and retail space, and some 3,400 housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]The hunger strike was organized by the Berryessa Flea Market Vendors Association (BFVA), a group created late last year in opposition to the proposed development. While its leaders initially demanded the vote be delayed by 90 days, González, the group’s president and a vendor at the market, said the extra week is enough time to reach a new deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was a great victory for us today,” he said. “The struggle is not over. We will continue on till we find those securities and those assurances for every single vendor and for all of our small businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landowners’ proposal includes a concession of five acres for a new “urban market” set aside for La Pulga vendors.

Johnson was instrumental in pushing for passage of Senate Bill 1421, the state’s “Right to Know Act,” which went into effect on Jan. 1, 2019.[aside postID=\"news_11854829,news_11823616,news_11717416\" label=\"Oscar Grant\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/oscar-grant\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to news organization requests in April 2019, BART released a decade-old report on the Grant case produced by a law firm hired to investigate the shooting. The document \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11744106/bart-releases-report-with-new-details-of-officers-roles-in-oscar-grant-killing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disclosed new details\u003c/a> in a case that had rocked the Bay Area, led to a criminal homicide conviction of a BART officer and triggered widespread protests against police violence that were a forerunner of the Black Lives Matter movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report cast doubt on former BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle’s account of the shooting at his murder trial in Los Angeles: that he had intended to draw his Taser, not his service firearm, before shooting Grant in the back as he lay face down on a Fruitvale BART Station platform on Jan. 1, 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5984249-OSCAR-GRANT-IA09A002-Final-Report-Internal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report\u003c/a> also found that the “willful and reckless conduct” of another former officer, Anthony Pirone, “started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.” Among other findings, the document said Pirone lied repeatedly to investigators, that he punched Grant and kneed him in the face without provocation and that he used a racial epithet during the confrontation with Grant and other men he had detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They [BART] knew this all that time,” Johnson said. “If they knew this for the past 11 years, then all the other details of what we don’t know … they will not tell us unless they’re forced to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report released in 2019 references many more files related to the Grant shooting that have never been made public, including audio files of dozens of interviews with witnesses and responding officers, including Pirone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The videotaped killing of Oscar Grant shocked our society and forced us to confront police violence in a new way,” said Ethan Toven-Lindsey, KQED’s executive editor of news. “And yet, law enforcement agencies including BART’s police force continue to block access to documents that are of critical public interest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley announced in October that her office was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841062/alameda-da-reopens-investigation-into-oscar-grant-killing-nearly-12-years-later\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reopening the criminal investigation\u003c/a> into Grant’s death, prompted by his family’s requests that prosecutors reinvestigate charges against Pirone. She \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11854829/crying-out-for-justice-oscar-grants-family-vows-to-keep-fighting-after-da-declines-to-file-new-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closed the investigation\u003c/a> three months later, citing a staff finding that there were insufficient legal grounds to charge Pirone as an accomplice to the killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant’s family has vowed to keep pushing for charges. A DA’s spokesperson recently declined interview requests, citing ongoing discussions about the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, BART released 26 more documents related to the case. Those included an analysis of Pirone’s shifting testimony about the incident, which formed the basis for a dishonesty finding against him.[aside postID=\"news_11744106,news_11734848,news_11840500\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Police-Art_1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]The analysis said Pirone’s accounts called into question “his justification for deciding to arrest Grant for a 148 PC (resisting arrest) charge, a decision that led directly to the failed effort to arrest Grant and thence to the shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokesperson Trost said Friday that the only files related to the Oscar Grant case yet to be released are audio files, which have yet to be prepared. However, analysis of the documents already provided indicates the existence of additional written records, including transcripts and disciplinary documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, no audio files from the Grant investigation or multimedia from any of seven additional serious use-of-force and misconduct cases have been disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, attorneys for the agency informed KQED on Jan. 22 that BART was only then seeking a contractor to redact audio and video files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since SB 1421 was enacted we have been seeking an acceptable and affordable way to accomplish extensive, legally required, redaction of very large amounts of audio and visual files,” Trost said, noting that work can be labor intensive. “However, we are committed to finding a solution and hope to report progress on this front soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has produced almost no information on two other fatal police shootings in recent years, and provided dubious grounds for withholding those records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said recently that it had only a few police reports on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/124089/draft-bart-officer-shot-and-killed-while-serving-warrant-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 shooting death\u003c/a> of BART Police Sgt. Thomas Smith, who was killed when fellow Detective Michael Maes mistook him for an armed suspect during a search of a home in Dublin. BART’s own investigation into the shooting remained paused — for six years — due to “pending litigation,” according to the agency’s Jan. 22 response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But BART had previously indicated that it completed an internal investigation in early 2015. Former BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/137625/bart-police-officer-cleared-in-friendly-fire-killing-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said publicly\u003c/a> in mid-2014 that BART would “move forward with concluding its internal investigation of the tragedy.” And the agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/11/18/bart-to-pay-family-of-officer-shot-killed-in-friendly-fire-3-1-million-settlement/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">settled\u003c/a> a lawsuit brought by Smith’s family in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART did not respond to requests for clarification on these points, but simply repeated that “no findings or conclusions are available for that investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has similarly argued that it has no internal investigative records related to Officer Joseph Mateu’s fatal shooting of Sahleem Tindle in 2018 because “the investigation remains tolled due to ongoing litigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the most excruciating pain and heartache that any family can go through,” Johnson said. “The idea of just knowing what happened becomes so critical in your understanding of how to begin to heal from such devastation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://beta.documentcloud.org/documents/20489067-kqed-v-bart-verified-petition-for-writ-of-mandate-2192021\" responsive=true text=false]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This report was updated to include comments from BART spokesperson Alicia Trost.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Sandhya Dirks contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.

The document \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11744106/bart-releases-report-with-new-details-of-officers-roles-in-oscar-grant-killing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disclosed new details\u003c/a> in a case that had rocked the Bay Area, led to a criminal homicide conviction of a BART officer and triggered widespread protests against police violence that were a forerunner of the Black Lives Matter movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report cast doubt on former BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle’s account of the shooting at his murder trial in Los Angeles: that he had intended to draw his Taser, not his service firearm, before shooting Grant in the back as he lay face down on a Fruitvale BART Station platform on Jan. 1, 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5984249-OSCAR-GRANT-IA09A002-Final-Report-Internal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report\u003c/a> also found that the “willful and reckless conduct” of another former officer, Anthony Pirone, “started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.” Among other findings, the document said Pirone lied repeatedly to investigators, that he punched Grant and kneed him in the face without provocation and that he used a racial epithet during the confrontation with Grant and other men he had detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They [BART] knew this all that time,” Johnson said. “If they knew this for the past 11 years, then all the other details of what we don’t know … they will not tell us unless they’re forced to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report released in 2019 references many more files related to the Grant shooting that have never been made public, including audio files of dozens of interviews with witnesses and responding officers, including Pirone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The videotaped killing of Oscar Grant shocked our society and forced us to confront police violence in a new way,” said Ethan Toven-Lindsey, KQED’s executive editor of news. “And yet, law enforcement agencies including BART’s police force continue to block access to documents that are of critical public interest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley announced in October that her office was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841062/alameda-da-reopens-investigation-into-oscar-grant-killing-nearly-12-years-later\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reopening the criminal investigation\u003c/a> into Grant’s death, prompted by his family’s requests that prosecutors reinvestigate charges against Pirone. She \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11854829/crying-out-for-justice-oscar-grants-family-vows-to-keep-fighting-after-da-declines-to-file-new-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closed the investigation\u003c/a> three months later, citing a staff finding that there were insufficient legal grounds to charge Pirone as an accomplice to the killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant’s family has vowed to keep pushing for charges. A DA’s spokesperson recently declined interview requests, citing ongoing discussions about the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, BART released 26 more documents related to the case. Those included an analysis of Pirone’s shifting testimony about the incident, which formed the basis for a dishonesty finding against him.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, analysis of the documents already provided indicates the existence of additional written records, including transcripts and disciplinary documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, no audio files from the Grant investigation or multimedia from any of seven additional serious use-of-force and misconduct cases have been disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, attorneys for the agency informed KQED on Jan. 22 that BART was only then seeking a contractor to redact audio and video files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since SB 1421 was enacted we have been seeking an acceptable and affordable way to accomplish extensive, legally required, redaction of very large amounts of audio and visual files,” Trost said, noting that work can be labor intensive. “However, we are committed to finding a solution and hope to report progress on this front soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has produced almost no information on two other fatal police shootings in recent years, and provided dubious grounds for withholding those records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said recently that it had only a few police reports on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/124089/draft-bart-officer-shot-and-killed-while-serving-warrant-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 shooting death\u003c/a> of BART Police Sgt. Thomas Smith, who was killed when fellow Detective Michael Maes mistook him for an armed suspect during a search of a home in Dublin. BART’s own investigation into the shooting remained paused — for six years — due to “pending litigation,” according to the agency’s Jan. 22 response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But BART had previously indicated that it completed an internal investigation in early 2015. Former BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/137625/bart-police-officer-cleared-in-friendly-fire-killing-in-dublin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said publicly\u003c/a> in mid-2014 that BART would “move forward with concluding its internal investigation of the tragedy.” And the agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/11/18/bart-to-pay-family-of-officer-shot-killed-in-friendly-fire-3-1-million-settlement/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">settled\u003c/a> a lawsuit brought by Smith’s family in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART did not respond to requests for clarification on these points, but simply repeated that “no findings or conclusions are available for that investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has similarly argued that it has no internal investigative records related to Officer Joseph Mateu’s fatal shooting of Sahleem Tindle in 2018 because “the investigation remains tolled due to ongoing litigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the most excruciating pain and heartache that any family can go through,” Johnson said. “The idea of just knowing what happened becomes so critical in your understanding of how to begin to heal from such devastation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wanda Johnson, Grant’s mother, in a press conference Monday. “Let the district attorney do what is right and charge him for the acts that he committed that led up to my son’s death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 22-year-old Grant was shot in the back as he lay face-down by former BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle at Oakland’s Fruitvale Station in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, 2009. Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2010, after claiming he had meant to reach for a Taser instead of his firearm — a claim investigators disputed in a 94-page report \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11744106/bart-releases-report-with-new-details-of-officers-roles-in-oscar-grant-killing\">released in May 2019\u003c/a> under terms of Senate Bill 1421, California’s police transparency law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That report, completed by independent investigators hired by BART in July 2009, also laid much of the responsibility for the shooting on Pirone, saying that his aggression and use of a racist slur “started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rev.

My son’s head was smashed against the wall and he was kicked and he was punched. And the officer, Pirone, still walks around free today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to witnesses, Pirone was “very agitated” and “crazy” at the scene, shouting profanity-laced orders as he rushed onto the platform to respond to reports of a fight on a train. He used a racial epithet multiple times while pinning Grant on the ground, but later said he was only repeating what Grant said to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the report, Grant’s family is calling for a felony murder charge against Pirone\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11639715\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11639715\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS3302_granttrial051111-e1514764868889.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1348\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rev.

It couldn’t be hard to hear that a racial epithet was used against him. And if you or I used those against someone, and a crime was committed, we would definitely be charged with the hate crime,” Johnson said. “So I’m not asking anything different than what our United States Constitution says or what our laws say. I’m asking for him to be charged for his actions leading up to my son’s death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvHxPQg_rsU\">video\u003c/a> released Monday, O’Malley said she reopened the case in October after Grant’s family contacted her, asking her to reexamine Pirone’s involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While condemning Pirone’s actions, O’Malley said that “while Pirone’s overly aggressive conduct contributed to the chaotic nature of what transpired on the BART platform,” he cannot be charged with aiding and abetting in the killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11717416' hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/JusticeforOscarGrant-1020x726.jpg' target='_blank']In the \u003ca href=\"https://www.alcoda.org/newsroom/files/Report-on-Officer-Pirone.pdf\">16-page report\u003c/a> on the decision Monday, investigators state that Pirone cannot be charged with murder because “There is no evidence that Pirone personally caused Mr. Grant’s death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Malley also said Pirone could not be charged with aiding and abetting a murder, because he did not know beforehand that Mehserle was going to shoot Grant. And murder is the only charge where the statute of limitations have not run out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pirone did not kill Oscar Grant. He could not legally aid and abet in the crime of involuntary manslaughter of Oscar Grant. Even if the law recognized that theory, which it does not, Pirone could only be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. The Statute of Limitations has long ago expired and charges could not now be filed,” the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision also cites a recent \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/2019/e069088a.html\">California Supreme Court decision\u003c/a>, saying in the report that “a non-killer participant in a crime cannot be held vicariously liable for any death that results from that crime” unless the participant knew beforehand that death would likely occur and “with a knowing and willful disregard of the likelihood that death would occur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant’s family and their attorneys plan to keep meeting with O’Malley and pressing for criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want you to know that the fight still goes on. We’ve been standing at these banks, as you know, for the last 12 years and we’re not going anywhere,” said Cephus “Uncle Bobby X” Johnson, Grant’s uncle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tony Pirone committed murder on that platform and he should be charged with felony murder,” he said. “He violated Oscar Grant’s civil rights.

Wanda Johnson, Grant’s mother, in a press conference Monday. “Let the district attorney do what is right and charge him for the acts that he committed that led up to my son’s death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 22-year-old Grant was shot in the back as he lay face-down by former BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle at Oakland’s Fruitvale Station in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, 2009. Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2010, after claiming he had meant to reach for a Taser instead of his firearm — a claim investigators disputed in a 94-page report \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11744106/bart-releases-report-with-new-details-of-officers-roles-in-oscar-grant-killing\">released in May 2019\u003c/a> under terms of Senate Bill 1421, California’s police transparency law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That report, completed by independent investigators hired by BART in July 2009, also laid much of the responsibility for the shooting on Pirone, saying that his aggression and use of a racist slur “started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My son’s head was smashed against the wall and he was kicked and he was punched. And the officer, Pirone, still walks around free today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to witnesses, Pirone was “very agitated” and “crazy” at the scene, shouting profanity-laced orders as he rushed onto the platform to respond to reports of a fight on a train.

In the federal CARES Act approved last March, transit operators nationwide received $25 billion in emergency funding, allowing them to continue operations at a reduced level. Most agencies will have exhausted those funds by the end of this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transit districts have been lobbying since May for as much as $32 billion in a second round of aid to support service in the coming year. Recent versions of pandemic relief legislation under discussion by House and Senate leaders include $15 billion for transit operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Foye, chairman and CEO of New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said during Wednesday’s briefing that operators would like to see rapid action on that $15 billion from the current lame duck session of Congress. But he said much more will be needed if public transportation is to avoid long-term damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be clear, each of the agencies has dramatically higher needs for federal funding in 2021 and 2022” and beyond, Foye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, virtually every transit operator is facing service cuts and workforce reductions even deeper than those they've already imposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART, which faces a $210 million deficit in the next 18 months, is trying to shrink its workforce through voluntary early retirements, but has discussed layoffs and eliminating weekend service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Muni must tackle a budget shortfall of $236 million through the middle of 2022 and has said it may need to lay off more than 1,200 employees, more than 20% of its workforce. The Golden Gate Bridge district has announced it will lay off 146 workers, mostly from its bus and ferry operations, on Jan. 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>—Dan Brekke (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/danbrekke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@danbrekke\u003c/a>)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n",

In the federal CARES Act approved last March, transit operators nationwide received $25 billion in emergency funding, allowing them to continue operations at a reduced level. Most agencies will have exhausted those funds by the end of this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transit districts have been lobbying since May for as much as $32 billion in a second round of aid to support service in the coming year. Recent versions of pandemic relief legislation under discussion by House and Senate leaders include $15 billion for transit operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Foye, chairman and CEO of New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said during Wednesday’s briefing that operators would like to see rapid action on that $15 billion from the current lame duck session of Congress. But he said much more will be needed if public transportation is to avoid long-term damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be clear, each of the agencies has dramatically higher needs for federal funding in 2021 and 2022” and beyond, Foye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, virtually every transit operator is facing service cuts and workforce reductions even deeper than those they've already imposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART, which faces a $210 million deficit in the next 18 months, is trying to shrink its workforce through voluntary early retirements, but has discussed layoffs and eliminating weekend service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Muni must tackle a budget shortfall of $236 million through the middle of 2022 and has said it may need to lay off more than 1,200 employees, more than 20% of its workforce. The Golden Gate Bridge district has announced it will lay off 146 workers, mostly from its bus and ferry operations, on Jan. 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>—Dan Brekke (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/danbrekke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@danbrekke\u003c/a>)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Fang was a noted proponent of an effort to extend BART out to Ocean Beach through San Francisco’s West Side, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/bart-looking-west-toward-geary-boulevard-in-transbay-crossing-study/\">an effort that may now finally be gaining traction as BART studies a second Transbay Tube\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting Fang’s prominence in the Asian community, particularly the monolingual Chinese community, Brown said San Francisco lost an important voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For years, they were part of the business of letting San Franciscans know about other San Franciscans,” Brown said. “He was an alternative voice for BART and for all of us. But without that voice, San Francisco is harmed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pius Lee, a former San Francisco police commissioner and prominent Chinatown community member, said Fang and AsianWeek gave the monolingual Chinese community a voice in the English-language world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For once, our message could be published in an English paper so all people could read that,” Lee said. “It was so important. He’s prominent not only in the Chinese community, but outside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Burton, a prominent former chair of the California Democratic Party, was also a long-time friend of the Fang family. Burton told KQED he was “stunned” by Fang’s death, particularly because he was so young.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a fine young man from a fine family, I wish his family and everybody, Florence, and Ted, (well)” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A San Francisco native and alum of Lowell High School, Fang interned with Rep.

Robert E. Lee. Or that another director would coax McPartland to “walk back” his comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McPartland, who represents an Alameda County district, seconded director Bevan Dufty’s police reform initiative. Dufty, whose district includes much of San Francisco, framed it as an effort not only to change the focus of policing on BART but to spare officers from having to deal with situations for which they’re not trained. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McPartland said he wanted to “jump on board” with Dufty’s idea, and started by saying past and current problems with police stem from training and policy problems, rather than with individual officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as a retired Army officer who served two tours of duty in Vietnam, he said calls to defund police amount to the same kind of “villainization” he felt when he returned from wartime service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, as both he and Dufty said later, he “went off the rails.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With no segue, McPartland launched into a critique of recent incidents in which statues of Confederate military figures and others have been pulled down. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the statues that now face removal is one in Richmond, Virginia, celebrating Robert E. Lee, a slaveholder who betrayed his oath to defend the U.S. Constitution by resigning from the Army to lead Confederate forces in the Civil War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826288\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826288\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/leestatue-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The Robert E.

Kelly/AFP-Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Robert E.

Robert E. Lee. Or that another director would coax McPartland to “walk back” his comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McPartland, who represents an Alameda County district, seconded director Bevan Dufty’s police reform initiative. Dufty, whose district includes much of San Francisco, framed it as an effort not only to change the focus of policing on BART but to spare officers from having to deal with situations for which they’re not trained. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McPartland said he wanted to “jump on board” with Dufty’s idea, and started by saying past and current problems with police stem from training and policy problems, rather than with individual officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as a retired Army officer who served two tours of duty in Vietnam, he said calls to defund police amount to the same kind of “villainization” he felt when he returned from wartime service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
