"stand firm teachers, ...pay cuts are unacceptable"

what about that room tax which was originally meant for teachers salary but gobbled up by ccsd.

two years of pay cuts is sad and unacceptable. if ccsd is threatening layoffs so be it. hold onto your salaries and benefits because once their gone you never get them reinstated in the next year. there are a few teachers who should be let go. most of our teachers do an excellent job and they should get a livable wage for 5 years of college, remember most have student loans to pay for. if ccsd wants to save money they need to do an efficiency study to trim their fat and eliminate the SAP/ERP(software) program which has spent over 70 million and is estimated to cost another 50 million more to finish

AMTRAK

..dude bring back amtrak to LA. it would be much cheaper and could come online faster.

I won't take a train to Victorville and the maglev is too pricey unless private investments want to take the risk to build.

It is too bad we aren't using this money to start a light rail project.

The RTC choose buses over lightrail however a bus is a bus and I don't see many giving up their cars to ride the bus. Bus is seen as a last resort and not an anternative to driving.

Since I live in the area where this will be done I am glad for the project but I am skeptical it will revive the neighborhoods around Sahara.

I doubt these claims will materialize, but at least its something rather then doing nothing,

"...'boy, this really is a beautiful corridor,'"

"This project is really going to improve the quality of life for the residents of this community,"

"AMTRAK is the answer"

...simply bring back the LA to Vegas route and save billions in the process and it could be up in less than a year.

actually its headed to the speadway and not the strip? too bad a downtown race would be much better
