Why not have Pelosi’s 4 million illegals finish it. That should keep costs down. Have the ones picking her grapes at her vineyard help in the off season.

Connect train to Mexico to hasten arrival of more illegals that will vote Democratic. Make sure to enact yet another tax to cover the additional expense.

Use state surplus to finish it. Then give the rest to help illegal immigrants and pay for a new study on the possibility of raising taxes and alienating more businesses.

In reply to Richard Rider. ...leaving a massive white elephant in the Central Valley Look on the bright side, Richard with that huge white elephant they could open a circus and recoup a little bit of what they've already stolen from taxpayers.

Keep in mind that the “photo” above is a fraud. Just like every promise that HSR promoters made. All lies.

* MUCH lower ridership now expected.
* FAR fewer jobs than promised.
* MUCH lower speed than the 220MPH projected.
* FAR higher ticket prices than touted.
* FAR longer travel times between destinations.
* MUCH higher construction costs than projected.
* PRIVATE INVESTORS without subsidies — they have never even appeared on the horizon.
* MOST IMPORTANT: A DRAMATICALLY reduced HSR system. San Diego voters were promised a HSR connection to the rest of the state. No longer.

In short, today’s HSR not the HSR system we voted on. What we voted on was — and IS — a fraud.

“…leaving a massive white elephant in the Central Valley.”

Got a name for it: Brownhenge. Hearkens back to the true good ol’ days when Gov. Rayes de Luna’s ancestors got stoned on the coast of England. Brownhenge — A Bridge Too Far.
