The "Jobs" Project Rolls

Advancing environmentally clean transportation took a tragic turn today to embrace antiquated technology when trains were electric in the 1800's.  It is also a bold government move to thwart objections and complaints against procedural process and removing individual's property rights

The biggest misconception about CA's HSR is that it has nothing to do with transportation.  The proposed project is marketed as a train but, lobbied as a "jobs" project.  An actual functioning transportation project designed to vastly reduce commute times, increase regional productivity and improve the deflating economy would cost far less with modern transportation technology.  CA's HSR project is a political process designed to serve the politically elite with the gravy train of favoritism.  Those few, most specifically the one: in control; his power to persuade is remarkable.

An aggravating day of defeatism in the world of the caring and morally sane.

Waiting for Today's Judicial Ruling

Prior to receiving notice from the Sacramento judge's announcement regarding a possible injunction in support of the impending lawsuits against the proposed project, the HSRA makes a bold move of confidence with the security of own political muscle.  In a Fresno Bee article dated November 15, 2012 the HSRA declares that the federal September 2017 deadline for its first segment completion isn't really a deadline that is necessary to meet; as previously stated.

Also, the HSRA has postponed its bid process deadlines until Mid-January for the first proposed segment.

November 2012

With the elections over, the CA HSR has retained the much needed political support it was hoping for.  Will political favor push the assigned judge to rule in favor of the people of California or the Juggernaut of bureaucratic procedure?  We wait to find out.
