Put the Brakes on California's High-Speed Rail

[Ashley Zavala @ZavalaA]

State leaders propose to keep some information and records around the California High Speed Rail a secret.

The governor told reporters today he didn’t know about the proposal even though an office within his administration filed it.

Joe Hedges should be thankful. The captain of the Titanic never made it off the ship. "California high-speed rail Jerry Brown appointee is out in big leadership shakeup." @caHSR_scam @hjta @ocregister https://t.co/CgOVzbxeJe

This $2.5 billion could have paid off some of the cost overruns for the first construction segment of California High-Speed Rail for the union and corporatist base. Imagine 125 mph from Madera to Fresno. Imagine.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Reminder: This is a $2.5 billion-investment toward Trump’s pet project for his far-right base.

Imagine if these funds helped to provide adequate healthcare for families in need. Or help our military families. Imagine.

#BREAKING Government terminates $928 million contract with High-Speed Rail

[Senator Shannon Grove @ShannonGroveCA]

The doomed high-speed rail is 14 years behind schedule, will cost about double what was originally estimated, has been reduced to the Central Valley & will run at a slower speed than what was promised!

This is one #BigRailFail!

U.S. cancels $929 million in California high speed rail funds after appeal rejectedhttps://reut.rs/2Hnbdra
Those signatures will be quietly erased through the best efforts of political consultants whose clients signed that rail on groundbreaking day.

[Ashley Zavala @ZavalaA]

BREAKING: The Federal Railroad Administration has notified California its ENDING its high speed rail agreement, clawing back crucial $ for project

[Jim Patterson @JimPatterson559]

They have torn up Central CA, destroyed thousands of acres of prime Ag land, taken homes and businesses. The question now is, will they put it all back together before they run out of money & leave town? This is the beginning of the end of @CaHSRA. https://t.co/OqogUt3n0i #hsr

[CA HighSpeedRailScam @CaHSR_Scam]

@JimPatterson559 No.

[CA HighSpeedRailScam @CaHSR_Scam]

Yes, but American voters didn't vote to borrow billions of dollars to build California High-Speed Rail between Madera and Shafter. Their patience is exhausted after 11 years of boondogglism.

America supports infrastructure! In 2008, CA voters passed Prop 1A to advance bringing high-speed rail to our state #BuildForTomorrow @InfraWeek

[CA HighSpeedRailScam @CaHSR_Scam]

How do Californians feel about this California High-Speed Rail boondoggle being portrayed by politicians such as Governor Gavin Newsom as the equivalent of undocumented immigrant justice in our communities? Are they really the same?

Governor Newsom's statement on today's decision by the federal government to deobligate nearly $1 billion in funding for high-speed rail.

[CA HighSpeedRailScam @CaHSR_Scam]

That's not fair! California voters clearly said in 2008 they wanted to build this High-Speed Rail and it's just taking a little more time and money than expected.

More consultants needed.

Biologists are worried California High-Speed Rail could cause the local extinction of mountain lions and other wildlife in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
https://t.co/z6YRRJ3hBw
So today they're thanking President Trump for saving the wildlife?
(as well as taxpayer money?)
