Train to Nowhere ⇥

Yonah Freemark:

The fact that the House and Senate have yet to agree on a long-term transportation bill, and the fact that Republicans have shown no interest so far in funding more intercity rail programs using the public purse, suggests that the situation is unlikely to get better for now.

This is likely to put a dent in plans to open the new [California high-speed] rail line by 2020.

Yet another blow for reasonable discourse to the detriment of the public.
