Robbed once. We got tied up. Its like a nightmare. Its a nightmare. Were still very scared. There is some precedence for fear. People tell us that people were lootedafter they opened the southwest station three years ago but other mer chants and others are welcoming the trains arrival. I dont think thats bigger concern because theres so much more potential coming out of the b. A. R. T. Station coming down to san jose. Theres so much more business potential that could come to san jose up to oakland too. That might be a few little conflict. I think the growth for it is a lot more potential. It could be okay, yeah. Youre not worried about it . Im not worried about it. It depends on the passengers. With increased crime and fewer police on san jose, beat cops say the problem is only going to get worse. Now damian tells us the training will start rolling in about three years. It could have been a lot worse. A scary sight on the side of the road after a tour bus caught fire. It happened at 11 00.

Reporter he left his house here in the sunset district around 1 40 this afternoon. We do not know where he was going but he got into a silver car with another man and he drove off. Now, yi has not since returned and as he was leaving he did not stop to talk to reporters. Lee land yi finally emerged from his house but had no comment about his suspension from the state senate or the shocking charges he now faces of fraud, corruption, and gun trafficking. I rise today to see the suspensions of yi, calderon, and write. Reporter earlier he was blasted from the senate floor calling for his suspensions along with the suspension of senator ron calderon accused of accepting bribes and senator rod wright also sentenced f. The stigma of associating with their alleged actions. Leave, please. Reporter but so far yi is refusing to step down. Yis attorney issued a statement reading, suspension is the right step for now and is appropriate in a system that presumes the innocent is accused. The decision was to suspend yi twoonld others. The only dissenting opposed was joe anderson from san diego who was upset they will continue to receive their salaries of 95,000 a year. So it amounts to nothing more than a paid holiday. I think thats wrong. His political future is unclear at best. Many of yis colleagues are urged him to resign but at least one reporting stopped by yis house to express his report. Hes done a lot of good thinged and people dont remember that. Okay . Pride and fame. Politics ruin lots of people.

Reporter all allegedly tied to this building in chinatown raided by the i wednesday morning. Agents claim ciao has run plenty of alleged activities from here for years. I was surprised. We new Law Enforcement remained interesting in raymond. He would say as much. But we had no inkling this was about to come down. Reporter but the claims are just beginning against chow and some two dozen others, so an attorney for one of chows alleged associates cautions against jumping to conclusions. I wouldnt be surprised that as is typical in a lot of these kinds of cases that when you get to the facts, its not exactly as portrayed as its been so far. Raymond chow and Keith Jackson still do not have attorneys.
