After 4 and a half months of extortion the BART Workers gave up $100 million dollars in work rules and benefits. Then Dorothy wrote a letter saying that was enough and all workers would be protected against any more cuts, especially layoffs.

She lied and is now trying to wiggle out of her letter by saying that what she said is not what she said and what she meant was not what we understood.

Once again BART has been manipulating the truth about taking 2 employees to change a seat cover on a BART Train. Lying is the only game they know well.

It cost a quarter of a billion simoleons to make Superman Returns.
(that’s $250,000,000.00).

Terminator Salvation and Night at the Museum cost far more than that because of the special effects and the enormous amount of players they had. Terminator Salvation had 17 Electricians onboard for lighting controls and filming. Night At The Museum had 23. BART has 55 (that’s half what they need).

I heard today that BART has secretly installed night vision cameras in Concord Yard, Richmond Yard and Hayward Yard Storage area.

They are installed by BPS in order to help catch the taggers that work so diligently to paint the Bart Train Cars.

Does anyone have the scoop on this and how much it costs?
