She said it’s a nationwide problem brought on by a bus driver shortage, and so far they haven’t figured out how to solve it.The school district paid about $4 million more for the new company it hired after so much criticism of the old company.

So far, this Warriors season has felt charmed.The Dubs are playing beautiful, connected basketball and executing at an enviable level in crunch-time play.The team’s five wins at this early juncture of the season served as a warning to the rest of the NBA: Golden State is back.But the Dubs received a dose of reality in Cleveland.These Warriors are small. Tiny. Diminutive.

Don’t go snooping for lifted shoes with this team.Against one of the NBA’s best defenses and a team that has absurd length — Cle...
