DC:
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom attempted to clarify comments he made Tuesday suggesting he was abandoning a pricey high-speed rail project, but conservatives believe his remarks are a ruse to expand the line.
The multi-billion-dollar project connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco is not dead, Jesse Melgar, a spokesman in Newsom’s office, told The Daily Caller News Foundation on Wednesday. His comments come after Newsom said during his State of the State address the line “would cost too much.”
[…] “He’s not abandoning the project,” Carl DeMaio, chairman of Reform California, told TheDCNF Wednesday, mirroring a press statement he published shortly after Newsom’s speech Tuesday.
“Newsom wants to spend tens of billions on a rail line between Merced and Bakersfield — a complete waste. Once this segment is done, politicians will argue that no one is riding this route because it doesn’t travel far enough and voila: the entire project will continue,” the statement read. more
Yes he did, with more incoherent comments.
The left says the war on climate change is morally like world war 2.
Newsom just surrendered France. Worse, he’s a collaborator. He’s Pétain.
OMG!!!! Newsom HAS DECLARED WAR ON THE ENVIRONMENT!!!
RECALL!!!!
I’m totally on that bandwagon.
@ Aaron Burr: Even worse – Newsom is a WW 2 Ukranian concentration camp guard who, by cancelling this high speed rail project, just wants to maim and kill people. Sure, he’s still on board with the whole world domination thing, but now with environmental genocide.
It’s a ruse which is why he refuses to send the money back. I hope the President takes him to court. It was part of the deal that the railroad meet certain goals to retain fed funds which they didn’t. Laws broken, constitution ignored, contracts violated. Had enough?
