Matt Mahan on CA High-Speed Rail: ‘It Shouldn’t Cost More to Get to Modesto Than to the Moon’

MAHAN: “Yeah. Well, first of all, election denial certainly is running a campaign in a different way. But look, on high-speed rail, it shouldn‘t cost us more to get to modesto than it‘s cost us to get to the moon. And it‘s not either or. The answer is accountability. We are spending billions of dollars before we ever put a shovel in the ground. Paying consultants and lawyers for endless bureaucracy. As governor, I will demand fundamental reform of sequa of all of the rules, the environmental laws, the litigation around these projects so that we get to building faster. It goes back to your climate point as well. We can‘t modernize our grid if we can‘t build.”
