FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, announced Thursday she will
introduce legislation next month to
protect online consumers from clan-
destine information gathering tactics
used by some Internet sites by requir-
ing clear disclosures of their practices
and providing an ability to opt out of
online tracking. Speier authored the California law (SB 1)
that prevented financial institutions from sharing personal
customer information with unrelated third parties. SB 1 is
considered a model state financial privacy law for the nation.
Now she’ll target companies that use “cookies” and other
methods of tracking site users.
Speier’s proposal builds on recommendations in a newly
released report by the Federal Trade Commission that identi-
fies Internet practices that compromise personal privacy.

STATE GOVERNMENT
• The California School Boards Association named state
Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, its 2010 “Outstanding
Legislator of the Year.” This is the second time CSBA has
given Simitian the honor based on his work in improving K-
12 education.
• Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, announced he
will introduce legislation to require California High-Speed
Rail Authority board members to publicly declare potential
conflicts of interest during meetings and leave the room
before deliberations begin.

Local brief
Commuters mistakenly fined for going
through toll plaza during Bay Bridge standoff
Some commuters who were stuck in traffic last month during
a police standoff with a distraught man on the Bay Bridge also
thought they were stuck with a fine afterward.
Hundreds of motorists who weren’t able to make it across the
bridge that morning were either charged a toll on their FasTrak
transponders or received a toll violation notice in the mail,
Metropolitan Transportation Commission spokesman John
Goodwin said Thursday.
The standoff occurred the morning of Nov. 11, when Craig
Carlos-Valentino, 51, of Antioch, stopped his SUV on the
bridge and threatened to commit suicide.
Carlos-Valentino, who had his daughter in the car and said he
was distraught over marital problems, called authorities to say
he had a gun and explosives in his car.
He was eventually taken into custody and the bridge was
reopened. Westbound traffic was turned around at the toll plaza,
but cars had to go through the plaza in order to turn around.
“Everyone who went through the toll plaza with FastTrak got
charged, and everyone who didn’t have FasTrak would have
gotten the automatically generated notice,” Goodwin said.
The system sent out the notices in the mail, but after the MTC
was notified of the error, those people “received another letter
saying the violation has been dismissed in full,” Goodwin said.

A memoir of

“A Voice From Old New York: A Memoir of

My Youth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $25),
by Louis Auchincloss: A prolific chronicler of
New York’s high society in more than 60 novels,

Louis Auchincloss concluded his career with a
slim memoir.

Auchincloss dismisses modern collegians with
a wave across his keyboard: “It was a pity that
none of my students in the three years I taught
at NYU seemed to have any real conception of
the beautiful language that was theirs.”

A gorgeous nightmare
And, for anyone who doubts that rich New
Yorkers live and often see themselves as a breed
apart, there’s ample proof in this evocative vol-
ume. Auchincloss is clear and direct about high
society’s position outside the mainstream.
“In a way, we were privileged guests of New
