Californians voted for the high speed rail project in a ballot initiative.
- malandrew 7y agoAnd they aren’t going to get what they were promised. With boondoggles like these, it shouldn’t be a surprise why American’s are against infrastructure projects. It’s all over promising and under delivering The same thing happened with the East span of the Bay Bridge.
- phlakaton 7y agoWould they have if it had been, say, a $29B proposition instead of a $9B one, and not to be completed until all the baby boomers were 90+ years old? This project has been facing stiff headwinds from the moment it began. If we had that vote again, knowing what we know now, I doubt it would pass.
- SamReidHughes 7y agoAgreed. I was always against it, because I knew it would play out this way :-). I’d rather force the TSA to have an SLA.
