An outgoing BART board director known for conservative stances and tense standoffs with her Democratic colleagues handed each of them a parting gift at the last meeting of her term: MAGA hats.
Director Debora Allen, who decided not to run for re-election, put the hats in gift bags that she passed out during a board meeting Thursday, which also included a letter to each board member.
The meeting opened with speeches by departing board members Bevan Dufty, Rebecca Saltzman, who won a seat on the El Cerrito City Council and Lateefah Simon, who will succeed Barbara Lee in Congress. Allen told the Chronicle she had also been asked to give remarks. She spoke out after Dufty appeared to pass over her and give the floor to Mark Foley, who is not leaving the board.
