SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA The emotion was palpable on Thursday evening in Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Board of Directors Chair Glenn Hendricks voice during the transit agency s first meeting since last week s mass shooting at a rail yard, when a VTA employee killed nine coworkers before turning the gun on himself.
A teary Hendricks opened and closed the two-hour meeting which had a shortened agenda in honor of the nine victims while the board conducted time-sensitive business in between, including approving a contract for incoming General Manager and CEO Carolyn Gonot and a budget item.
