Bay Area transit bailout plan runs into local resistance in San Mateo County

San Mateo County officials are clashing with the state lawmakers over a proposed regional sales tax that would bail out the Bay Area's distressed transit systems, arguing that their constituents would shoulder an outsized share of the burden without a fair say in how the money is spent.
