Democrat "Mayor" Newsom Cannot Run Train System

by #
The reintroduction of one train route is apparently causing havoc with the Muni Metro system and all above ground trains and buses. This is how the Democratic Party machine of San Francisco, led by election fraud "mayor" Gavin Newsom, runs for re(s)election this year. We had better have a Green Party candidate for mayor.
The reintroduction of one train route is apparently causing havoc with the Muni Metro system and all above ground trains and buses. This is how the Democratic Party machine of San Francisco, led by election fraud "mayor" Gavin Newsom, runs for re(s)election this year. We had better have a Green Party candidate for mayor.

Apparently, the T line is not hooking up at 4th and King Streets the way it is supposed to and the turn around at the Castro Station is not working correctly, causing delays throughout the system, and causing people to crowd the above ground lines, such as the F line, which had 300 people waiting for the F line at one point. Going underground, it took 45 minutes to go from Church Street to Montgomery Street. They had their opening run last weekend, plus 3 weekday runs. Is this the system that took $648 million from the taxpayers, 20 years to plan and 5 years to build?

And Muni in general has never been fixed. We have packed commute buses with standing room only and so many delays in the Muni Metro system, before the T line was introduced, during rush hour that it is always best to take the above ground trains and buses. The only way Muni can be fixed is with federal funding. Local rep, House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is showing up this coming Saturday April 14 (the day before Tax Day), for a grand opening of the T line, along with "mayor" Newsom, at K.C. Jones Park, Carroll Ave Station, 5701 3rd St, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..

Do you suppose she is going to announce that she used her political clout to obtain more funding for Muni? And how about more money to house the 15,000 homeless permanently in decent housing? And what about more money to make sure that all of San Francisco's public schools at all grade levels are as good as Lowell High School, a school that is not special but simply what a school should be. Or is our hard earned tax dollars, our blood, sweat and tears, being given by Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats and their twins, the Republicans, to pay for blood for oil wars? We could start with the $124 billion Pelosi & Company is about to give to the war machine so that Democratic Party war profiteers like millionaire Senator Dianne Feinstein can get richer. And Feinstein is not alone. After all Senator Boxer and Rep Pelosi are millionaires and one does not obtain that kind of money from working for a living but rather from exploiting the workingclass. We hope to have Greens and Reds running for mayor this year in San Francisco. It is long overdue that we take the money from the greedy and give it to the needy.
