"we're also doing this to stimulate the Central Valley economy" California high-speed rail is already delivering major economic impact for the people and businesses in the Central Valley and will continue to do so under the direction laid out by @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom today. pic.twitter.com/c4mA8Z6KSi — CA High-Speed Rail (@CaHSRA) February 12, 2019

Wharfie, it's red now, and that's how we turn it blue. Yeah, I get what Moonbeam Jr. is trying to say. He's trying to sell it as a "job creation" program for the Central Valley. Meanwhile the farmers there aren't fooled. They know the high-speed rail project only got started there because of suburban NIMBYs. It's a boondoggle that is already over budget, and it's not even like 5% complete. Tenchusatsu

Hey Wharfie, remember when Moonbeam Jr. was bragging about keeping $3.5B in federal aid money for a high-speed rail project that isn't going to happen? And by the way, I am not interested in sending $3.5 billion in federal funding that was allocated to this project back to Donald Trump. Nor am I interested in repeating the same old mistakes. Seems like God Emperor Trump is not amused ... Tenchusatsu Federal Government to Cancel Funds for California High-Speed Rail Trump administration halts $928 million in aid and says it is considering legal action to recover federal money already spent WASHINGTON—The Trump administration said Tuesday it would cancel almost $1 billion in funding for the California high-speed rail network, casting doubt on whether the state will be able to complete even the first phase of the troubled project.
