From SHARP:

The BART Board of Directors race may be the most important and contentious race most people have not even heard about.  The winner will have a big influence on BART’s multi-million-dollar budget,  expansion plans, and negotiations with the labor union representing its workers.   As the recent BART strike should have taught us, it is important who represents us on the BART Board.   The candidates will each give three-minute opening statements and two-minute rebuttals.  We will then have up to ten minutes of Q and A.
