Its argument was grounded in concerns about “the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s plan to start construction without any assurance of future funding from the federal government,” according to The Wall Street Journal. The California High-Speed Rail Authority responded with a “you’ll be sorry” statement, asserting that it will cost Californians more not to build the system. It argued that the cost of expanding airports and … More]]> http://blog.heritage.org/2012/01/10/falsehoods-abound-in-case-of-california-high-speed-rail/feed/ 0
