Secretary Sean Duffy investigates corrupt California high-speed rail project

Sean Duffy called out the California high-speed rail project as a massive government boondoggle

He criticized its cost overruns and delays, which have made it one of the most expensive and inefficient public works projects.

Duffy ordered a federal investigation into the project, questioning whether California should receive additional federal funding, given its failure to deliver on promises and growing cost estimates.

The project, once hailed by Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi, has faced widespread criticism and even led to French state-owned SNCF pulling out due to California’s bureaucratic challenges, highlighting the project’s ongoing issues.

It was supposed to be finished in 2020. The cost is now expected to exceed $130 billion and would be completed in the late 2030s – if it’s ever finished.

Of course, Newsom wants to be bailed out by you, the taxpayer. I have a life-long friend who lives in Milpitas, California her entire life and is a diehard Democrat. I thank God I live in Florida, the best run state in the country.
