iStockOn Tuesday morning, a frustrated passenger on Delta Air Lines Flight
1452 from Seattle Tacoma International Airport to New York's JFK International
Airport took luggage fee resentment to a new level. The traveler apparently
simply gave up his bags.Rather than face $1,400 in overweight baggage fees,
the flier opted to leave his belongings behind at the Delta check-in
kiosk in Seattle, reports NBC News. As a result, the Delta lobby
was closed down for more than two hours while security inspected the
unattended luggage.Eventually Seattles airport security determined the discarded
bags were not a threat and were able to identify their owner
and the owner's flight.Law enforcement officials with the Port Authority
of New York/New Jersey met the flight and interviewed the passenger upon
arrival at JFK, TSA spokesperson Ross Feinstein told NBC News.Upon interviewing
the traveler, officials determined there was no criminal intent by the passenger.While
this is an extreme case, Delta admits that they find unattended bags
on a regular basis, according to Yahoo Finance.This does not come as
a surprise after examining the airlines rates for checking luggage. Delta
currently charges $25 for the first checked bag, $35 for the second
checked bag on domestic flights. A checked bag costs $125 and bags
4-10 cost $200 each.Even worse, the airline charges fees on top of
fees.According to Delta's website, If an extra piece of baggage exceeds
the weight
dividual owners and lighter on commercial stations that
could serve multiple users. Those factors, according to the report, undermined
the goal of easing range anxiety in the original markets."The real problem
is the policy approach of the Obama administration," said Paul Chesser,
of the National Legal and Policy Center. "The department of Energy and,
really ECOtality, were in an impossible situation. President Obama says,
'There's going to be 1 million electric cars on the road by
2015, so here are billions to make it happen.' And then nobody
buys the cars."It's a disastrous domino effect, a complication of a policy
that was a bad idea," Chesser said.Under the plan, all charging stations
were to be used to gather data from users, but many commercial
stations were so seldom used that they proved useless in gauging public
satisfaction.The lack of analysis by the Department or ECOtality prevented
us from determining whether the reasoning behind these changes was sound
and in the best interest of U.S. taxpayers, the IG wrote.Although the
audit found no issues with the selection of Ecotality for the project,
Chesser said the company relies more on political connections than expertise
in winning taxpayer grants. ECOtality began as a maker of biodegradeable
products, but in 2006 jumped into the electric car industry. And the
company has been upfront about its business strategy of going after government
money.Im a political beast, ECOtality Pr

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">San Franciscos City Hall reportedly dished out more than $25,000 in tickets
to department officials and politicians and their pals for a Jay-Z and
Justin Timberlake concert at Candlestick Park.The San Francisco Chronicle
reports that the city's Recreation and Park Department handed its general
manager, Phil Ginsburg, and staffers two-thirds of the tickets. Ginsburg
told the paper it's long-standing policy. Civic leaders and park stakeholders
are often invited to these concerts.The amount of tickets each supervisor
from the department received appeared to have varied. London Breed reportedly
received two $250 tickets while Jane Kim was given six luxury box
tickets valued at $1,860, the report said. Kim reportedly donated her seats
to a housing program.Click for more from SFGate.com
July 24, 2013: President Barack Obama speaks about the economy, at the
University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Mo.APWASHINGTON The Senate
voted Tuesday to fill all five seats on the National Labor Relations
Board and prepared to consider President Obama's picks for top diplomatic
and law enforcement posts as the chamber whittled down a pile of
stalled nominations.Tuesday's votes included the last of the seven nominees
that were part of a bipartisan deal earlier this month in which
some Republicans agreed to end stalling tactics. Democratic leaders hope
to also push other nominations through the Senate before Congress begins
its summer recess this weekend, but some face uncertain fates.Even so, that
bipartisan agreement -- which saw Democrats drop a threat to change Senate
rules to weaken minority party clout -- has let Obama fill some
major gaps in his second-term administration. That deal and the momentum
it has created has let him install leaders at agencies including the
FBI, the Labor Department, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau.On Tuesday, the chamber moved rapidly for the
normally glacial Senate and approved three Democrats and two Republicans
to serve on the NLRB, which helps resolve labor disputes.Without confirmation
of at least one of them before Congress' recess, much of the
NLRB's work would have ground to a halt by late August. That
is when NLRB Chairman Mark Gaston Pe
