A marathon planning hearing in a county four hours away from here is poised to determine whether half the Bay Area will become a corridor for 80-tanker oil trains carrying explosive loads–we talk to two of the people trying to stop it. Plus: the Trans Pacific Partnership gets signed today – which marks the start of an epic lobbying blitz in Washington for approval from Congress.
