It's about serving the people of this state, serving our communities, serving our government at a greater level."Limbaugh previously served as Parson's former legal counsel and is related to the late conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

Bill seeking to bail out BART with bridge-toll hikes is put on pause

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:04:18 GMT

Efforts to pass a controversial bill to fund the Bay Area’s financially strapped transit system–including BART, Muni and other agencies–by raising Bay Area bridge tolls by $1.50 are being put on pause amid weak legislative support, State Sen. Scott Wiener announced Monday.The San Francisco Democrat introduced the bill late in the legislative session after efforts to obtain sustainable transit funding in the state budget fell through. In an interview, Wiener said he knew from the beginning that the toll hike would be a difficult political lift. SB352 would have required a two-thirds majority to pass both houses of the Legislature.“We don’t have enough time, so we’re hitting the pause button,” Wiener said. “We’re going to work within our Bay Area delegation to try to build broader support for a funding strategy.”The proposal also faced criticism from regional observers, local members of Congress and some of Wiener’s own colleagues.
