State Center trustees voted to give taxpayer-funded projects to special interests — ignoring students & local workers. “The board picked politics over people.” They’re doubling down tonight. Students deserve better.

Proud to support AB 862 by @Castillo_AD58 which passed the Assembly Education Committee. This bill ensures CA tracks student interest in apprenticeship—helping address our construction workforce shortage and give trades the visibility they deserve. #ABCMeritShopProud #AB862

[ABC Northern California @NorCalABC]

To solve CA’s construction workforce shortage, we need better data—starting in high school. AB 862 ensures students pursuing the trades are counted and supported. Proud to back Asm. Castillo’s bill as it clears Assembly Ed Committee. #ABCMeritShopProud #SkilledTrades #CAleg

🚨 New: State Center moves toward union labor mandates 🚨 “Every dollar should be spent efficiently, to serve students, not create artificial competition.” – Matthew Estipona, Associated Builders and Contractors. Read more on PLAs impact on taxpayer dollars: ⬇️

🚨 Last night, State Center CCD moves forward with PLA talks, risking $700M in school projects & shutting out local nonunion contractors. Thank you to the local contractors who bravely spoke out for fair and open competition #NoPLA #FairCompetition

[ABC Northern California @NorCalABC]

ABC NorCal is at State Center Community College District to give testimony against the proposed PLA. This backroom deal was done without proper procedures or transparency. PLAs limit competition, increase costs, & shut out qualified contractors from public projects. #NoPLA

@KevinKileyCA is right - CA taxpayers deserve accountability for the $15.7B wasted on High-Speed Rail. Beyond delays & mismanagement, PLAs drove up costs, shut out local contractors, and funneled $$ into union coffers. More here: https://t.co/d5P1MY729X

[Kevin Kiley @KevinKileyCA]

Today I joined U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to announce an investigation into CA High-Speed Rail, which could claw back $4.3 billion in federal funds. Amusingly, a few protestors showed up in support of the boondoggle.  

The High-Speed Rail disaster is the worst public infrastructure failure in U.S. history. It is a blight on our landscape and an embarrassment to our state.   It is a symbol for the decline of modern California, showcasing political ineptitude on an epic scale.  

It exemplifies the failures of transparency and accountability, of governance and planning, of vision and leadership, of competence and common sense that have turned the greatest state in the country into the most popular state to leave.  

It represents the disregard for taxpayer dollars, for property rights, for democratic accountability, for economic reality, that have caused our beautiful state to lead the nation in all the wrong ways.  

And it highlights the small-mindedness of our politicians, who think of themselves as visionaries for plowing ahead with a 20th century project that won’t be complete until the 22nd century, at best.  

The failure of High-Speed Rail represents all that has gone wrong in modern California. And that is precisely why this is such a hopeful day; the end of this ill-fated project will serve as a new beginning.

We are turning the page in California. A coalition for common sense is ascendant.

@AsmwomanMacedo is right—CA taxpayers have been left with nothing but empty promises and $15.7B in waste. High-Speed Rail’s failure isn’t just about mismanagement; PLAs drove costs up, shut out local contractors, and funneled $$ into union coffers. More: https://t.co/d5P1MY7zZv

[Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo @AsmwomanMacedo]

After 17 years and $13.7 BILLION spent, no tracks have been laid on the High-Speed Rail project. Time to reprioritize funding to prevent wildfires & improve water infrastructure to better serve Californians.

Thank you @NBCLA @conanNBCLA for your coverage. https://t.co/Ya9GVL4G2o

@AsmTangipa is right—CA taxpayers deserve answers on the $15.7B spent on High-Speed Rail. Cost overruns & delays weren’t just mismanagement, but a result of PLAs funneling $$ into union coffers while shutting out local contractors. Read more: https://t.co/d5P1MY729X

[Assemblyman David Tangipa @AsmTangipa]

Californians demand an investigation into the $15.7 Billion spent on a project that’s decades late and billions over budget, with only concrete and rebar to show. The High Speed Rail Authority must be held accountable for taxpayer dollars.

🚨 Spotlight: @sencabaldon 🚨 As Mayor of West Sacramento, he fostered open competition & economic growth. We look forward to working together to support policies that build sustainable communities & a strong workforce! 💪🏗️ #ABCNorCal #WorkforceDevelopment #BuildCalifornia

[ABC Northern California @NorCalABC]

🏛️ Grateful to the 11 legislators & their teams who met with us on 2/5 to discuss jobs, wages & workforce development in construction. 🚨 With CA’s bill deadline nearing, we urge lawmakers to promote policies that drive job growth & build sustainable communities.
