BART Moves OAC Forward, Apparently at Staff's Request

Rachel Gordon reports that the BART Board of Directors has approved the funding plan for the Oakland Airport Connector. The OAC has come under fire from transit riders and community groups because its price tag ($552 million) might better be spent avoiding cuts to service. Gordon reports:

The decision came after a five-hour public hearing at BART headquarters in which more than 70 people - split almost evenly for and against the project - testified. -Rachel Gordon (via SF Chronicle)

But how many of those who testified for it were BART staff?
