Hearing date in November

It doesn't require a prophet to forecast the inevitable demise of California's incredible waste of taxpayer dollars for its proposed HSR.  On the first part of July in this blog, a post told about the legislature passing approval which allows the 1A bond money to be spent in a manner that clearly was unintended by the voters for the proposed CA HSR project.  That post ended with a prediction that new lawsuits would begin.

In today's Fresno Bee (September 26, 2012) is the latest update to the ongoing saga called California's proposed high speed rail.  A judge will consider a motion for a preliminary injunction regarding the case with the hearing on November 16th.  

There has been no train horn ordered yet for California's proposed HSR.  

Fancy new name change

With the government paying as much attention to what they do; and would put as much effort into the work they are supposed to be doing as they do coming up with cleaver names for their projects, there could be some worthwhile things being accomplished by the overlords of bureaucracy.  In the September 20, 2012 Fresno Bee article, the current Washington administration has found a snappy title to call its political push for California's technologically antiquated heavy-rail train project: "We Can't Wait".  There is truth to that statement; it should have been built 100 years ago instead of today.  There have been many advances in transportation technology over the past 100 years.  How is it that the overlords haven't discovered less expensive technology that is much more efficient both in speed and cost?  

Today's society has to have a new form of transportation to meet its economic and social demands.  Building a train with 150 year old technology is extremely foolish and irresponsible.
