Big transportation package of Governor Jerry Brown faces Staunch Opposition in San Francisco
The Democratic plan to fix California’s roads faces major opposition from Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, and Sen. According to the sources, Glazer wants the bill amended to include a provision prohibiting BART strikes.
In recent days, intense lobbying of moderate Democrats casts doubt on whether Gov. Jerry Brown and the Democratic leaders who unveiled SB1 last week will secure the two-thirds majority votes needed in each house to pass the bill. The bill would raise $52 billion over 10 years with new taxes and fees to repair the state’s bridges and roads.
