I remember voting against this pile-o-manure, and wishing there was a “hell no” choice. There’s no future to high speed trains in America when we have millions of Muzzies and other non-Americans who would, for the price of a brick, throw the train off the track.
At least with airplanes, only the end points need secured.
People voted for it because of a poison pill clause that said it could only be built without cost to the taxpayers. That’s the only reason the bonds for it passed. As things stand now, those bonds will never be issued and the high speed rail elephant will thankfully, never be built.
“At least with airplanes, only the end points need secured.”
Excellent point.
