By David Tanner, Land Line senior editor

In Washington, D.C., a committee tasked with developing recommendations for a rule on entry-level driver training for truck and bus drivers has come to a consensus on language to present to the FMCSA on or before June 15.

“As for the root cause of failures to protect the public in corporations and government regulatory agencies, consider money.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”  1 Timothy 6:10

Whether it be relentless cost cutting demands by OEMs or the corruption of government regulatory policy the root cause is money.

Whether it be airbags exploding dangerously, or airbags not deploying when needed examination will find money at the root of corporate and governmental failures to protect.  See report of June 2014 at

AnnaLeah and Mary

Jerry and I just got back from a Trip North and got a chance to go to a zoo with Sam & Naomi. Mary would have loved it. Mary enjoyed zoos. She would have been taking pictures of the noisy tiger.

(Wish she could have. . .)
