BART Executives stop Lt. Governor Garamendi from spending a day as a BART Worker

In 2007, Barrack Obama walked a day in the shoes of Pauline Beck, an Oakland home health care worker, where he was able to learn about people who care for the elderly and people with disabilities.

On June 18, 2009, Lt. Governor Garamendi was going to do the same thing, but this time he would walk a day as a hard-working BART employee. While experiencing a day as a worker, the Lt. Governor was also going to provide his analysis of state budget cuts affecting Bay area residents.

Unfortunately, the Lt. Governor was denied access to BART employees at their job site by BART administration. Past visitors at BART job sites include: Boy Scouts, busloads of tourists, and BART administration-approved journalists.

I wonder why????
