2. Gov. Brown's action keeps BART rolling at least another week

Gov. Jerry Brown's late-hour decision to step into the Bay Area transit dispute will keep the trains rolling for at least another week, and possibly longer.

Late Sunday, Brown appointed a board to investigate the disagreement and report back to him in seven days.

By invoking a state law that allows the governor to step into matters affecting public health and safety, Brown’s action also prohibits a walkout or lockout while the board prepares its report.

Once Brown has the report in hand, the law allows him to ask a judge to order a 60-day cooling-off period.
