Speaker Pelosi says there's $24 million for California's high speed rail as well as funds for a bridge in San Francisco in there too https://t.co/QpHsmLLo2q
Exactly how much money will reach various rail projects — including the financially challenged California bullet train — is still an unknown and will depend on how the complex law is administered and developed into grant programs.

From @nbcbayarea investigative unit report... a quote from #CAHSR CEO: “It's not this or that. It's both,” Kelly said. “I respect the legislature. We've got to work through these issues and we're not in full agreement yet. But we'll get there.”https://t.co/5hTq6x5yF7 #CA#Transit

I have accepted the resignation of Andre Boutros, my appointment to the California High Speed Rail Authority.
I am incredibly grateful for Andre’s leadership on HSR. His wealth of knowledge and experience have been a monumental asset to the Board. I wish him all the best.
This is really a standoff between Assembly leaders and other Democrats, most notably the governor and key senators. Also important to note that the impasse delays other transpo funding, too, projects that Newsom has attached to the HSR request.
