I noticed there is no mention of exactly how this boondoggle is going to be funded. Could it be that there are no funding sources? We must stop this Train wreck.

So, Greg - do you work for Chevron? Or Southwest? Or who else is it who will profit from preventing energy-efficient statewide travel that feeds you your "talking points" to post in places like this?

This entire project was a huge misrepresentation from the start. Costs underestimated, ridership overestimated, funding not secured, the list could go on and on. Only an idiot would think that the transportation mode of the 1800's is the answer today. If trains are so wonderful, why must we subsidize every passenger line in the country? Cancel the whole thing and balance the budget first.
