"The state of California has squandered billions of tax dollars and most of two decades of planning and construction in a failed attempt to build high-speed rail in California. We initially voted for it, so when do we, as taxpayers, say enough is enough and tell the governor and the Legislature to stop this wasteful embarrassment? We have endured years of misleading statements and broken promises."
"Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez should resign. He furthered antisemitism by reposting comments that Israel caused the Bondi Beach tragedy, shades of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in history. He said he was mistaken, but an elected official should know world affairs. If Martinez opposes violence, why didn't he condemn Hamas' brutal attack in Israel in 2023? Why hasn't he condemned the Hamas charter, which calls for eradicating Jews?"
California has spent billions and nearly two decades on a high-speed rail effort that squandered tax dollars, produced misleading statements, and broke promises. Completion would likely create another government-run transit entity that consumes limited public transit funds and operates at a deficit. Taxpayers should halt further funding and construction of the high-speed rail project. Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez reposted antisemitic comments suggesting Israel caused the Bondi Beach tragedy, failed to condemn Hamas' 2023 attack or its charter calling for eradicating Jews, and has been accused of wearing a hat advocating death to Israel's defense forces. Calls for his resignation cite fostering antisemitism and endangering Jewish safety.
