From OC Register:
Nothing epitomizes the abject failure of California governance more than the so-called High Speed Rail project or, as it has been derisively labeled, High Speed Fail.
To recap, voters in 2008 narrowly approved a nearly $10 billion down payment for the construction of a high-speed rail network between the Bay Area and Southern California that promoters said would cost a total of $33.6 billion. A year later, the High Speed Rail Authority, the governing body overseeing the project, revealed that the train would actually cost $42.6 billion. That estimate subsequently exploded to $98.5 billion, three times the original cost projection.

I voted no in 2008. This was a scam in the beginning to feed the Unions and other greedy entities free taxpayer money. It should be brought back before the public for a second look with real figures instead of hype.

Mr. Coupal: Start the bullet train in Los Angeles not the Bay Area. You people in Sacramento get all the goodies at Southern California’s expense. The Bart Train is a good example. The South makes the money and the North steals it.
Do over??? What we need is a dump of this idiotic budget busting worthless scheme!!!!
We don’t want a do over of this white elephant. We don’t want it period. Lets get this state in shape financially, then make sure we have extra money to get things this state needs without going back into debt. That is how individuals need to live and the sate should be the same.
