Featured Headline: Last night a Disney Land employee was biking home from work when she was struck from behind and killed by a negligent driver. Was the driver trying to pass her? Would the publicity surrounding the passage of a 3 Foot Passing Law have saved her? We’ll never know. Thanks, Governor Brown.
