KALW News

We hear arguments for and against Proposition RTM and Proposition H and get a preview of Black Art Week

Deep Dive: We’ll look at the pros and cons of Proposition H - the Stronger Muni for All San Francisco parcel tax - and Proposition RTM - the Regional Transit Measure imposing a five-county Bay Area sales tax to shore up public transit agencies. Are we too taxed already? What do you think is the best path forward for our struggling public transit system?

Guests:
Alicia John-Baptiste, San Francisco's Chief of Infrastructure, Climate and Mobility, joining in her personal capacity
Debora Allen, business and finance consultant and former BART board director
Marie Hurabiell, Founder and Executive Director of ConnectedSF and former Congressional candidate
Sebastian Petty, Senior Transportation Policy Advisor at SPUR

Culture Splash: Monetta White, CEO of the Museum of the African Diaspora, gives us a preview of Black Art Week.

Hosts: Ethan Elkind, Grace Won
Producers: Chris Nooney, Katie Colley
