Paranoid conspiracy bullshit?

Recently Mayor Blakespear's husband accused Supervisor Gaspar of "paranoid conspiracy bullshit" for discussing SANDAG Director Hasan Ikhrata's supposed plan to put black boxes in everyone's cars to track their driving and charge them for using the freeways.




You know who else believes in this crazy paranoid conspiracy? The LA Times.

From 2013 when Ikhrata was at SCAG, the LA area's version of SANDAG:

"This really is a must for our nation. It is not a matter of something we might choose to do," said Hasan Ikhrata, executive director of the Southern California Assn. of Governments, which is planning for the state to start tracking miles driven by every California motorist by 2025. "There is going to be a change in how we pay these taxes. The technology is there to do it."

Thanks to an anonymous commenter for the tip.

Blakespear's husband calls Gaspar's telling of SANDAG meeting "paranoid conspiracy bullshit"

We noted recently that Kristin Gaspar is opposing SANDAG's plan to take money promised for roads and redirect it to mass transit. The fight is heating up.

KUSI on the recent SANDAG meeting:

Gaspar explained that the SANDAG Director, Hasan Ikhrata, is recommending everyone pay to drive on all freeway lanes because they are subsidized.

A black box would be installed in every vehicle, tracking every mile you drive on the highway, and then that information will be given to the government so it could charge you.

During last week’s SANDAG meeting, Ikhrata tried silencing board members who didn’t agree with his plan. Ikhrata became so aggressive, County Supervisor Gaspar walked out.

This is apparently what Catherine Blakespear's husband is referring to on Facebook:
