Just where the rest of the money will come from is uncertain...

What a stupid project its not even going to be finished and where is all the money going? I would rather see a few billions or tens of poured into a feasible and successful water project for California

Even Willie Green thought it was a dumb idea.

A $1 billion boondoggle.
All that loose change under the couch.
A billion doesn’t buy much in an $18 trillion economy.

In the inevitable battle for the public revenue (taxpayer) dollar, one wonders how the judiciary will rule when PENSIONS, promised and never deposited, compete against the ‘Big Project High Speed Rail’ (HSR)? Given the usual lean towards government promises in pensions by the judiciary, I’d say that unless the California economy and tax revenue improves significantly, HSR remains a drug dream, appropriate for California is is not?

There’s nothing “high speed” about this. That’s just a bunch of b.s.

Hot diggety! Someday I'll be able to ride from Fresno to Madera! Nevermind that I could drive it in less time and not have to rent a car.
We need a recall of the Moonbeam....and his cohorts.

The money covers only the ready shovels.
It doesn’t cover labor costs, laying track, overhead cables, switches and signals and rolling stock.
Its a scam.

Think how many EBT card benefit increases that would cover.

a BILLION dineros to go from Fresno (big city) to the vicinity of the local UC Campus.
A bus could do same thing in 20 minutes, too.
