Today, President Trump posted on Truth Social, “not a single penny in federal dollars” will go towards the California High-Speed Rail. Longtime critic and Central Valley’s Assemblywoman Alexandra M. Macedo (R-Tulare) issued the following statement:
“After 17 years and $14 billion spent, the high-speed fail has only managed to start construction from a field to an orchard.
“Not a foot of track has been laid.
“The state needs to stop wasting taxpayers’ monies.
“The high-speed rail is not salvageable. The state has higher priorities like water infrastructure and wildfire prevention – lifesaving projects that can provide well-paying jobs for skilled workers in the Central Valley.”
