I think we all hoped that this is just the beginning of a new era of accountability and transparency at Metro.

Those people need to be fired and we need to be taking the action that helps you.

As the mom of a daughter with a biology degree major and with a master's degree in forensic science who is now working in the STEM fields, I ask that my colleagues support this bipartisan legislation to promote women in the workforce and…

They will also help us answer how the United States can provide scientific and ethical leadership in this arena.
