This is why Californians are so mad about losing their SALT deductions. The government there needs many, many, billions for useless projects and thus the need for sky-high state income taxes, coupled with sky-high state sales taxes, and what amounts to sky-high property taxes (low rates...but highly inflated home values).

So instead of fighting against these huge expenditures, people get mad at the Republicans who simply say that people living in Kansas should not be subsidizing this crap.

...and the really sad thing is that all they need is a lane or two on I-5 between LA and Sacramento and the need for this system would disappear, as buses deployed from various areas of LA to various areas of SF would be able to match the door-to-door times of any trains running between the cities.

This boondoggle is proceeding as designed. A cash cow for lawyers, environmental consultants, public employee unions, and democrats.

And how many years and millions will the audit take? It’s California; somebody’s always getting rich awhile the taxpayers are getting shafted. It’s a given.
