Dianne Feinstein could finish her speech at the California Democratic Party convention Saturday, the music began playing to indicate she had used her allotted time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She kept talking. The music got louder. \"I guess my time is up,\" Feinstein conceded as what sounded like a 1940s movie score continued playing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without missing a beat, supporters of her opponent, state Sen.

Your time is up!,\" a not so subtle reference to Feinstein's 25 years in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Party activists have never really been Feinstein's people. In 1990, when she was running for governor, she came to the party convention and expressed her support for the death penalty, eliciting \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1990-04-08/news/mn-1703_1_capital-punishment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boos from the liberal crowd\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>It can be a delicate matter to bring up someone's age. But in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/\">Sen. Dianne Feinstein's\u003c/a> age has become a openly discussed issue in her campaign for a fifth full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein — a Democrat — is 84, making her the oldest member of the United States Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not by much. There are seven other senators who are also in their 80s, though none of them are running for re-election this year. Some political columnists have said that Feinstein shouldn't run again. Harold Meyerson, executive editor of the liberal magazine \u003cem>The American Prospect\u003c/em>, made that argument \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-meyerson-feinstein-run-20170731-story.html\">in a column\u003c/a> in the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a six-year term,\" Meyerson says, \"which is the longest term any elected officials in the United States can be elected to. So the issue isn't simply what shape is Dianne Feinstein in at age 84, it's also what shape will she — or anyone — be in at 91?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no way to predict that, says \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/ailshire/\">Jennifer Ailshire\u003c/a>, a professor of gerontology and population health at the University of Southern California. People age differently from one individual to the next, she says. \"Some older adults are quite frail, while others are incredibly robust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"hIXqY3mx97RBfY3jd1oJRNiL5c3MOZmS\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And their chronological age doesn't really tell you much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rather than focus on someone's age, we should be focusing on their biological age, which is the age of their cells, tissues and organs,\" Ailshire says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not the sort of information that voters have access to. What they do know about Feinstein is that she received a pacemaker last year, but missed only a single day of work. That work includes serving as the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, as well as having senior status on Appropriations and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her career, Californians have known Feinstein as a cautious, middle-of-the road politician. That served her well when she was first elected to the Senate in 1992. The California electorate was also more moderate then. But Meyerson says California leans more to the left these days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"lg5AqyHiwuWuvNkvjnVFmMbQ6S90ZKZx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So in many ways, I think, she still positions herself to the right of certainly where California Democrats are, and in many ways, of where California is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's never been Feinstein's way to be a liberal flame-thrower. Instead, as she told an audience in San Francisco last year, what's important is knowing how to get things done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got to be able to compromise,\" she said. \"And compromise, ladies and gentlemen, isn't a dirty word. Compromise is what moves this government forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein has a major primary challenger from her left. He's \u003ca href=\"http://sd24.senate.ca.gov/\">Kevin de León\u003c/a>, 51, leader of the California State Senate. And since California has a nonpartisan, top-two primary, he's likely to be her opponent in November as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RRb7FhJYKmMwNBo3VMYKinrEgvdCP3We\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León has blasted Feinstein for being too conciliatory toward President Trump and too slow to stand up for young people on DACA, the program for some undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children. For the record, Feinstein voted against the January budget resolution to reopen the government because it lacked an extension for DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León's campaign declined to be interviewed for a story on Feinstein's age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's been endorsed by the progressive political action committee, Democracy for America, which claims around 300,000 members in California. Communications Director Neil Sroka says what his organization wanted to know was, \"Who's going to be best equipped to lead the resistance to Donald Trump and set a path forward for what an inclusive, populist vision for this country looks like?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for his organization, that wasn't Feinstein. Her age isn't a problem, but her long tenure in the Senate is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"4WSu6aa5e5uhmLm1CNITJE5trirEkg3r\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to need more [progressive] candidates moving up the ranks,\" Sroka says. \"We can't do that if the same old people are running for the same old offices over and over again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein is hardly the first candidate whose age has become an issue. But few have been damaged by it. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoPu1UIBkBc\">famously teased\u003c/a> his younger opponent, Minnesota Sen. Walter Mondale, that he would not criticize him for his youth and inexperience. And just two years ago, when Arizona Sen. John McCain's primary opponent said he was too old to be running for re-election at the age of 80, her comments were \u003ca href=\"https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/azdc/2016/08/27/kelli-ward-john-mccain-age/89434464/\">called desperate, nasty and sick by the media\u003c/a>; she lost decisively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dianne Feinstein may be more vulnerable. While \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/s_1217mbs.pdf\">polls\u003c/a> show her ahead by double digits, one survey showed her \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3ws181nw\">support dropping\u003c/a> several points when voters were told her age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Carrick, Feinstein's longtime political strategist, says there have been older politicians going back decades \"and I never heard all this racket.\" Then again, he notes, they were all men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We now are getting to the point where there are senior senators who are female,\" which suggests, says Carrick, that the concerns expressed about Feinstein's age represent \"quite a double standard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerontologist Ailshire says that if there's going to be a double standard, the science says it should be the other way round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Women have a survival advantage over men,\" she says. \"Scientists have found that men have higher epigenetic aging rates, meaning their cells and tissues are older, even when they're the same chronological age [as] women.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether age should be an election issue will ultimately be settled by the voters. But those voters themselves are also aging. A dozen years from now, one-fifth of the U.S. population will be 65 years old or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Dianne Feinstein's\u003c/a> age has become a openly discussed issue in her campaign for a fifth full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein — a Democrat — is 84, making her the oldest member of the United States Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not by much. There are seven other senators who are also in their 80s, though none of them are running for re-election this year. Some political columnists have said that Feinstein shouldn't run again. Harold Meyerson, executive editor of the liberal magazine \u003cem>The American Prospect\u003c/em>, made that argument \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-meyerson-feinstein-run-20170731-story.html\">in a column\u003c/a> in the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a six-year term,\" Meyerson says, \"which is the longest term any elected officials in the United States can be elected to. So the issue isn't simply what shape is Dianne Feinstein in at age 84, it's also what shape will she — or anyone — be in at 91?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no way to predict that, says \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/ailshire/\">Jennifer Ailshire\u003c/a>, a professor of gerontology and population health at the University of Southern California. People age differently from one individual to the next, she says. \"Some older adults are quite frail, while others are incredibly robust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What they do know about Feinstein is that she received a pacemaker last year, but missed only a single day of work. That work includes serving as the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, as well as having senior status on Appropriations and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her career, Californians have known Feinstein as a cautious, middle-of-the road politician. That served her well when she was first elected to the Senate in 1992. The California electorate was also more moderate then. But Meyerson says California leans more to the left these days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So in many ways, I think, she still positions herself to the right of certainly where California Democrats are, and in many ways, of where California is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's never been Feinstein's way to be a liberal flame-thrower. Instead, as she told an audience in San Francisco last year, what's important is knowing how to get things done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got to be able to compromise,\" she said. \"And compromise, ladies and gentlemen, isn't a dirty word. Compromise is what moves this government forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein has a major primary challenger from her left. He's \u003ca href=\"http://sd24.senate.ca.gov/\">Kevin de León\u003c/a>, 51, leader of the California State Senate. And since California has a nonpartisan, top-two primary, he's likely to be her opponent in November as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León has blasted Feinstein for being too conciliatory toward President Trump and too slow to stand up for young people on DACA, the program for some undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children. For the record, Feinstein voted against the January budget resolution to reopen the government because it lacked an extension for DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León's campaign declined to be interviewed for a story on Feinstein's age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's been endorsed by the progressive political action committee, Democracy for America, which claims around 300,000 members in California. Communications Director Neil Sroka says what his organization wanted to know was, \"Who's going to be best equipped to lead the resistance to Donald Trump and set a path forward for what an inclusive, populist vision for this country looks like?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for his organization, that wasn't Feinstein. Her age isn't a problem, but her long tenure in the Senate is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to need more [progressive] candidates moving up the ranks,\" Sroka says. \"We can't do that if the same old people are running for the same old offices over and over again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein is hardly the first candidate whose age has become an issue. But few have been damaged by it. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoPu1UIBkBc\">famously teased\u003c/a> his younger opponent, Minnesota Sen. Walter Mondale, that he would not criticize him for his youth and inexperience. And just two years ago, when Arizona Sen. John McCain's primary opponent said he was too old to be running for re-election at the age of 80, her comments were \u003ca href=\"https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/azdc/2016/08/27/kelli-ward-john-mccain-age/89434464/\">called desperate, nasty and sick by the media\u003c/a>; she lost decisively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dianne Feinstein may be more vulnerable. While \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/s_1217mbs.pdf\">polls\u003c/a> show her ahead by double digits, one survey showed her \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3ws181nw\">support dropping\u003c/a> several points when voters were told her age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Carrick, Feinstein's longtime political strategist, says there have been older politicians going back decades \"and I never heard all this racket.\" Then again, he notes, they were all men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We now are getting to the point where there are senior senators who are female,\" which suggests, says Carrick, that the concerns expressed about Feinstein's age represent \"quite a double standard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerontologist Ailshire says that if there's going to be a double standard, the science says it should be the other way round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Women have a survival advantage over men,\" she says. \"Scientists have found that men have higher epigenetic aging rates, meaning their cells and tissues are older, even when they're the same chronological age [as] women.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether age should be an election issue will ultimately be settled by the voters. But those voters themselves are also aging. A dozen years from now, one-fifth of the U.S. population will be 65 years old or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

And Republicans have focused heavily on the scandalous aspects of the Steele dossier because they are outrageous and unverified, as part of a strategy to impeach the document as a way to impeach the case that the Trump world might have conspired with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/01/561203044/charges-hearings-sharpen-the-big-picture-about-russias-influence-campaign\">the Russian interference campaign\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why Democrats say it's important that Simpson told Judiciary Committee investigators that he did not instruct Steele to dig up dirt on Trump or find ways to embarrass him. In fact, Steele was so shocked by what he learned from his sources that he felt obliged to report it to the FBI, Simpson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steele felt like a person driving to work who sees an accident and feels compelled to call 911, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/09/576789880/author-of-russia-dossier-worried-trump-was-being-blackmailed\">Simpson said\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump opponents want that testimony to undercut the attack line propounded by Republican critics such as Ohio Rep.

Prevezon's lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was also present at the 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Fusion GPS has \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/josh-rogin/wp/2017/07/11/inside-the-link-between-the-russian-lawyer-who-met-donald-trump-jr-and-the-trump-dossier/?utm_term=.c532a5b03acb\">told the Washington Post\u003c/a> that it \"had no prior knowledge\" of that meeting and denied any involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And nothing about the transcript resolves another of the questions Jordan has mused about: Did the FBI use material from the unverified dossier in asking the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court to grant warrants for eavesdropping or other surveillance?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ZqV1v5BEsxCaBqdHNjz0hKrduJgwFOvL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those details are highly classified — the FBI and National Security Agency would never discuss that publicly, and there would be no way for Simpson to know. But the ability for supporters of the White House to discuss classified subjects in ways that could never be resolved in the open is a potent political weapon in this saga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee's chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and another key Republican member, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, used it on Jan. 5 in issuing a \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/senators-grassley-graham-refer-christopher-steele-criminal-investigation\">criminal referral\u003c/a>\" against Steele to the Justice Department. They said he had given false information — but the details are secret, so the matter can't be hashed out in the open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In releasing the Simpson transcript on Tuesday, however, Feinstein has taken away some of the advantage that Republican majorities enjoyed before. Now all of Simpson's testimony to her committee is available for review — and Democrats said that's the way it should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For months, there has been a campaign to discredit Christopher Steele and cast doubt on the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election,\" said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who also sits on the Judiciary Committee. \"The American people should have the opportunity to see the full transcript and judge for themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Republicans, however, including Grassley, Feinstein has actually hurt the work of the committee in finding out about potential conspiracy with Russians or the prospect of obstruction of justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Feinstein's unilateral decision was made as the committee is still trying to secure testimony from other witnesses, including Jared Kushner,\" said Grassley's spokesman. \"Her action undermines the integrity of the committee's oversight work and jeopardizes its ability to secure candid voluntary testimony relating to the independent recollections of future witnesses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Jim Jordan, who has mused about Clinton or Democrats paying Steele to scare up gossip hot enough to entice the FBI into launching a baseless investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several important questions, however, remain unanswered, and Simpson, Fusion GPS and Steele are not fully inoculated against some of the charges they've endured from allies of the White House and other critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, nothing about Simpson's testimony will deflect the campaign of derision directed by Republicans against a Justice Department and FBI they call \"biased\" on behalf of Hillary Clinton and against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For other critics, the Simpson transcript includes a reminder about his potentially conflicting incentives: Fusion GPS has also done work for a law firm that represented the Russian company Prevezon Holdings. Prevezon's lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was also present at the 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Fusion GPS has \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/josh-rogin/wp/2017/07/11/inside-the-link-between-the-russian-lawyer-who-met-donald-trump-jr-and-the-trump-dossier/?utm_term=.c532a5b03acb\">told the Washington Post\u003c/a> that it \"had no prior knowledge\" of that meeting and denied any involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And nothing about the transcript resolves another of the questions Jordan has mused about: Did the FBI use material from the unverified dossier in asking the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court to grant warrants for eavesdropping or other surveillance?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those details are highly classified — the FBI and National Security Agency would never discuss that publicly, and there would be no way for Simpson to know. But the ability for supporters of the White House to discuss classified subjects in ways that could never be resolved in the open is a potent political weapon in this saga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee's chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and another key Republican member, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, used it on Jan. 5 in issuing a \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/senators-grassley-graham-refer-christopher-steele-criminal-investigation\">criminal referral\u003c/a>\" against Steele to the Justice Department. They said he had given false information — but the details are secret, so the matter can't be hashed out in the open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In releasing the Simpson transcript on Tuesday, however, Feinstein has taken away some of the advantage that Republican majorities enjoyed before. Now all of Simpson's testimony to her committee is available for review — and Democrats said that's the way it should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For months, there has been a campaign to discredit Christopher Steele and cast doubt on the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election,\" said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who also sits on the Judiciary Committee. \"The American people should have the opportunity to see the full transcript and judge for themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Republicans, however, including Grassley, Feinstein has actually hurt the work of the committee in finding out about potential conspiracy with Russians or the prospect of obstruction of justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Feinstein's unilateral decision was made as the committee is still trying to secure testimony from other witnesses, including Jared Kushner,\" said Grassley's spokesman. \"Her action undermines the integrity of the committee's oversight work and jeopardizes its ability to secure candid voluntary testimony relating to the independent recollections of future witnesses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]E[/dropcap]arlier this month, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and East Bay congressman Mark DeSaulnier caused a little bit of a stir when they wrote officials at the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and told them that they needed to start planning -- now -- for a new vehicular and rail crossing between the Peninsula and East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two suggested that the planning effort ought to be undertaken under the auspices of Regional Measure 3, a pitch to Bay Area voters to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/15/sb-595-bay-area-transportation-plan-regional-measure-3/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase bridge tolls by as much as $3\u003c/a> to raise money for dozens of transportation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $4.5 billion measure, which the MTC hopes to place before voters in the nine Bay Area counties next June, includes $50 million to pay for preliminary engineering, environmental review and design of a second transbay rail crossing. Since the designated project sponsor in the measure's \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enabling legislation\u003c/a> is BART, most assume that $50 million would go to building a second transbay tube -- maybe with capacity for high-speed rail, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their Dec. 6 letter to MTC Director Steve Heminger, DeSaulnier and Feinstein said the regional measure -- and its promise of $8 and $9 bridge tolls -- does not come \"anywhere close to addressing one of the most significant traffic problems facing the Bay Area – namely, the need for an additional route across the bay for both BART and vehicular traffic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeSaulnier said in an interview that the lawmakers' sense of urgency is driven by the region's \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/whats-happening/news/bay-area-vital-signs-freeway-congestion-hits-new-record-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increasing traffic congestion\u003c/a> and the harm it's doing to commuters' quality of life and to the overall Bay Area economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the start of planning is delayed, DeSaulnier said, regional residents will \"look at 20 or 30 years of increasing congestion with no significant remedy to relieve it. That's the window of opportunity we have in the next few months.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]R[/dropcap]egardless of whether a study recommends a second BART tube or a major new bridge, actually building it will be expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2012 MTC study put the cost of a combined vehicle-rail bridge from Interstate 380, near San Francisco International Airport, to I-238, on the southern edge of San Leandro, at $12.4 billion.

Dianne Feinstein and East Bay congressman Mark DeSaulnier caused a little bit of a stir when they wrote officials at the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and told them that they needed to start planning -- now -- for a new vehicular and rail crossing between the Peninsula and East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two suggested that the planning effort ought to be undertaken under the auspices of Regional Measure 3, a pitch to Bay Area voters to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/15/sb-595-bay-area-transportation-plan-regional-measure-3/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase bridge tolls by as much as $3\u003c/a> to raise money for dozens of transportation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $4.5 billion measure, which the MTC hopes to place before voters in the nine Bay Area counties next June, includes $50 million to pay for preliminary engineering, environmental review and design of a second transbay rail crossing. Since the designated project sponsor in the measure's \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enabling legislation\u003c/a> is BART, most assume that $50 million would go to building a second transbay tube -- maybe with capacity for high-speed rail, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their Dec. 6 letter to MTC Director Steve Heminger, DeSaulnier and Feinstein said the regional measure -- and its promise of $8 and $9 bridge tolls -- does not come \"anywhere close to addressing one of the most significant traffic problems facing the Bay Area – namely, the need for an additional route across the bay for both BART and vehicular traffic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeSaulnier said in an interview that the lawmakers' sense of urgency is driven by the region's \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/whats-happening/news/bay-area-vital-signs-freeway-congestion-hits-new-record-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increasing traffic congestion\u003c/a> and the harm it's doing to commuters' quality of life and to the overall Bay Area economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
