“...represents an immense financial risk on the part of the State of California.”

Yes, California prefers proven wastes of money to those that only have a possibility of calamity.

You want Jerry Brown to ignore a half-baked idea? The guy is the queen of the EZ Bake Oven.

This is a pure wealth transfer from taxpayers to crony friends of the Federal and California governments. Period. No economic sense, but theft from taxpayers.

WHAT??? The Sackatomatoes Bee reported this???

Awright, what happened? Did I fall asleep and wake up on April Fool's Day?

Did The Bee get bought out by a bunch of rabid, right-wing, cave-dwelling Tea Pary Luddites?

Is Dan Walters exercising his fledgling parodist wings?

Am I just drunk?

Hallelujah! So, obviously there's no need for a California High-Speed Rail Commission, is there? So, obviously the Commission itself should be defunded.

HA! Riiiiiiiight.

It’s time to admit that in a liberal-infested state like California, you can’t build ANYTHING big.

Dan Walters is himself lefty. So is the former director of CalTrans. EVEN THEY say this is garbage.

My fear is that, while the older parts of it are falling apart in disuse, we will continue building new stretches of this train to nowhere.

No one wants to travel from Southern California to Northern California. Vegas, San Diego, Hell! Maybe even Phoenix, but Northern California defeats the point of living in California. The weather.
