The Trump administration has withdrawn approximately $4 billion in unspent federal funding for California's high-speed rail project, citing a lack of viability in completing the project. Despite previous funding, a recent report indicated that the project had faced continued delays and mismanagement. The administration criticized California's leadership, arguing that federal funds must yield tangible results. Voters had previously approved significant funding in 2008 with expectations for completion by 2020, yet no progress has been made five years beyond the deadline.
I have officially freed you from funding California's disastrously overpriced, HIGH SPEED TRAIN TO NOWHERE. This boondoggle has cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Billions of Dollars.
Federal dollars are not a blank check. They come with a promise to deliver results. After over a decade of failures, California High-Speed Rail Authority's mismanagement has proven it cannot build its train to nowhere.
