California’s high-speed rail system is going nowhere fast Washington Post Published: November 13 2011
THINGS JUST WENT from bad to worse for high-speed passenger rail in California. After the Golden State’s voters approved a $9 billion bullet-train bond issue in 2008, officials said they could build an 800-mile system by 2020, for $35.7 billion. The cost projection now, as issued by the state Nov. 1: $98.5 billion, with a completion date of 2033.
As a 4th generation Floridian I support Governor Rick Scott's decision to derail Obama's High-speed rail pipe dream. A total waste of Taxpayer dollars. This project will spend billions of tax dollars to further the special interests of Multi Millionaires like State Senator Paula Dockery. Obama's wasteful expenditure of taxpayer dollars is strongly supported by State Sen. Paula Dockery, a native New Yorker who voted & supported record tax increases on Floridians in 2009
I support Paula for being against the Sunrail. But for High Speed Rail, she can't assume that its only for "Floridians" will ride it? We also have tourist, Flying down from Orlando International Airport, renting vehicles, and drive through the horrible traffic congestion on the bee-line and interstate 4 highway just to get to Walt Disney World. And she say we don't need the High Speed Rail? Not everyone share the same perspective as Paula.
