KFI’s John & Ken discuss ‘Browndoggle’ with CWD’s Chris Reed
March 16. 2013
In an interview with CalWatchdog contributor Chris Reed, KFI 640 AM’s John and Ken discussed the fiasco that is the California bullet-train project, which they call the “Browndoggle.”
The interview begins at the 5:35 p.m. point of their Friday show — about halfway through this podcast.
It focused on topics familiar to Cal Watchdog readers.
— The implications of federal belt-tightening for future funding from Congress.
— The indifference of state and federal regulators and legislators to the ways the California High-Speed Rail Authority is breaking not just promises but laws.
— The unrealistic hopes that the Obama administration has raised for state bullet-train fans about the prospects for massive new federal funding.
— The ideological cheerleading for the bullet train that one often sees on the pages of the state’s biggest newspapers.
