US transportation secretary threatens to cut California federal funds over licenses
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is warning that he is about make good on a threat to revoke millions in federal funds for California because he says the state is illegally issuing commercial driver’s licenses to noncitizens. Duffy said during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that Gov. Gavin Newsom has refused to comply with Department of Transportation rules that require the state to stop issuing such licenses and review those already issued. He says he is about to pull $160 million and officials have the option of revoking the state's ability to issue commercial driver’s licenses. California officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸A lot of people are going to say things like: “that's it, it was never really viable anyway. we should just have highways and walking paths”.
But not only is the statement completely false, that's the attitude that got us here. That's the attitude that has brought us climate change. And worst of all, that's the defeatist and nihilistic attitude that will lead to the burning of not just more forest, but whole communities, and eventually, the likely collapse of our civilization.
After the 2021 November floods there was never a question about whether the government would spend (never accounted for!) billions on repairing the highways immediately.
The CN and CP Railways also rebuilt theirs that were heavily damaged, and did it a lot faster, because railways are a lot easier to build, and rebuild, than 4 lane, or 2 lane highways.
During the 2023 wildfire on the other side of Cameron Lake, the railway sat unused while the highway was closed for weeks, leading to massive economic losses for #PortAlberni #tofino and #Ucluelet and all the Nuchanulth Territories and huge social disconnection.
So rebuild it? Absolutely!
Electrify it? Darn right!
Run Freight and Passenger on it again for the benefit of all Islanders!? OF COURSE! It should have never been allowed to stop its 100 years of service to us in the first place!

Attached: 1 image Chooo: The latest telegrams say one of the trestles on the Alberni Subdivision at Cameron Lake has burned. The picture here might even show it. In the 114 years of the Alberni sub there have been fires, but nothing like this. My wooden trestles are strong. They are meant to be replaced as timbers age, gradually, over decades. It will be hard to replace the whole thing. Hoping no one else suffers this loss. Thank you to those brave firefighters. Choo. #IslandRail #BCWildfire

FUN FACT: Californians pay more in Federal taxes than the Federal government spends in California.
Flipboard Tech DeskAs 2024 kicked off, there was still a lingering EV buzz in the air, albeit quieter than before. As the year draws to a close, it’s safe to say that buzz is more of a whisper. Read about the biggest transportation flops of the year, from @Techcrunch:
Douglas E. Welch“Fast Times” Van, Valley Relics Museum, Van Nuys, California
We finally made it over to the Valley Relics Museum (https://valleyrelicsmuseum.org/), even though it is just “up the street” from where we live. There were a lot of great artifacts including a huge neon sign collection. Check it out when you are at a loss for something to do in the San Fernando Valley.
