Trump Administration Launches Review Of High Speed Rail Project

California's long-delayed and over budget high-speed rail project is under threat again by the Trump administration. During his first term in office, Trump tried, without success, to claw back nearly a billion dollars in federal aid for the project, which one day is supposed to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco.

That could jeopardize $4 billion in funds that the feds have committed for constructing the project’s first segment in the Central Valley.

This serves as a more left activist agenda than a fair accounting of just the factual news. It’s disappointing and why I’ve never contributed money to their fundraising campaigns.
