What a little crook!
I seem to recall something in the news recently about a Green New Deal expanding high speed rail to get rid of unnecessary air travel...something that AOC girl was positing as saving the country...wonder what happened to that?
I think all federal grants in CA should be cancelled and the savings added up until it reaches the $3.5B CA just stole from us. I want interest too, actually.
“Little?” He has only started.
Little?
3.5 Billion would be a historical theft!....................
Sooner or later reality must exert itself..................
Well, you see, California spent “only” the federal dollars so far! The rest of the money is “all” state and local money so, obviously, none of the remaining dollars needs to be given back.
In terms of the government as a whole, he’s a baby thief with those rookie numbers.
Good start for a rookie................
Wall money!
Standard operating procedure for democrat leaders. Always shifting money from one bucket to another. In San Francisco, they got billions of fed dollars for building the TransBay Terminal supposedly for housing the high-speed trains. The money for the train platform was shifted away for buses, parks and other pet projects. Now there's no money for the high-speed train platform and tunnel from existing trains, and the train platform is an empty hole in the ground while the city searches for more federal billions to complete it. They were shifting money around all over the place.
My guess is Newsom will be shifting some money out of the $3.5B to his friends in SF for political favors.
Yep the $$ spent so far has been Prop. 1A money ($9 billion) and the Feds “stimulus” $3.5 billion...Gavin plans to build out a small segment of roadbed (Amtrak will probably use it to bypass freight trains) so he doesn’t have to pay the Feds back. Or it could be the most expensive bike path ever!!
get it back and build the wall, this high speed rail is like global warming its a scam to get fed funds to support illegals and social programs
Newsome, don’t steal the money that the taxpayers were forced to give up. Give it back...
Outright theft!
How many people want to travel from Bakersfield to Merced? LOL What a total waste of money.
It only takes 2 - 2 1/2 hours to drive from Merced to Bakersfield. What is high speed rail really going to save commuters?
What happens in Merced or Bakersfield? I mean either it is SF/Sacramento or LA.
If he is supposed to return it..
Deduct it from any future payments.
If he is not required to return it.
Fire the idiot(s) in DC that made that deal.
