Ummm, the current Dallas to Houston train project people not only are 100% privately funded, they say they will refuse any government funds. And they don’t actually need government funds - they’re the same people running bullet trains in Japan, which is practically a license to print money.
I know what they are saying about the train but I simply do not trust the Texas legislature to not waste the money as they have so often done in the past. Just too many non-Conservatives moving into Texas and it is just trending too blue.
