The Bastiat Society of San Francisco will host an event with Marc Joffe, Federalism and State Policy Analyst at CATO Institute.
Despite sharply lower ridership in the aftermath of COVID-19, Bay Area transit agencies are plowing tens of billions into expansion projects while begging for more tax and toll revenue.
