BART watchdog to get $1.7 million boost amid calls for increased oversight

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:04:00 GMT

The inspector general’s office tasked with investigating fraud and waste at BART will get a $1.7 million boost – more than doubling the watchdog’s current budget – under a deal announced Wednesday that will bolster an office mired by funding disputes and allegations of obstruction by the transit agency.The announcement is a sea change for BART, which previously rejected calls to fund its inspector general, and is now bowing to demands for increased oversight. As part of the deal BART will provide $600,000 from its operating budget and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission will supply $1.1 million in bridge tolls on top of the $1 million in bridge tolls already dedicated to the watchdog body.The funding is expected to be approved by the BART board and the MTC’s Bay Area Toll Authority later this spring.“This new funding, if approved, will help bolster BART’s Office of the Inspector General at the same time we will be onboarding a new Inspector General,” said BART Gen...

NL West preview: Did SF Giants do enough this offseason to compete with Dodgers, Padres?

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:04:00 GMT

Addressing reporters this winter, Giants president Farhan Zaidi said that “one unfortunate aspect” of his team’s offseason was the “attention paid to the players we wound up not signing.” When those guys were Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa, Zaidi said, “maybe (it was) inevitable.”But there was always going to be increased scrutiny on Zaidi’s ballclub after it followed up a surprising and exciting 2021 campaign with a disappointing and at times unwatchable 2022 season. What’s left to be determined is if, in the wake of missing out on their top targets, they did enough to close the gap in the National League West.While the Dodgers remained mostly quiet, the Padres were active as ever, and no team is receiving as much buzz about a potential breakout season as the Diamondbacks. As for the Rockies? Well, the Giants can only hope to beat up on them as much as they did in 2021.Los Angeles Dodgers2022 record: 111-51FanGraphs projection: 8...

Tech art with a Mexican twist arrives in San Francisco’s Mission District

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:04:00 GMT

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, a media artist born in Mexico and based in Montreal, is obsessed with communication. He once set up stations on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border where people could shine spotlights at each other to open up remote-audio conversations. After modeling the fluid dynamics of human breath, he created the world’s “first 3D-printed speech bubble” – gross-out alert, it looks like a booger-shaped cloud.Lozano-Hemmer’s visions are the subject of the retrospective “TECHS-MECHS” in the Mission District, itself a hotbed of cross-cultural dialogue. In a funny twist, what looks like a security camera shows video of people disabling surveillance cameras in Mexico City. A robotic noose twitches every time ICE made an arrest in 2019 (that would be every 3 to 4 minutes). The show’s dazzling centerpiece is a hanging web of 3,000 light bulbs pulsing to different people’s heartbeats. You can stick your hand under a sensor and have your own pul...
