California High Speed Rail Might Be On The Ballot This November March 5th, 2008
Editorial by Noel T. Braymer
On this year’s November ballot if the governor doesn’t postponed it again, will be a bond issue for 9.95 billion dollars from the California High Speed Rail Authority. This money will go towards building a start up High Speed Rail (HSR) service between Anaheim and San Francisco. The assumption is this money will be matched with money from Federal, local and private sources to more than double the 9.95 billion dollars being raised from this bond issue. What exactly is being proposed and what are the benefits of this project if it is built?
