California: Trump plan to take back rail money 'disastrous'

1 / 2USA-TRUMP/U.S. President Donald Trump speaks with Governor-elect Gavin Newsom upon arriving at Beale Air Force Base, California, U.S., November 17, 2018. REUTERS/Leah MillisSACRAMENTO, Calif. — Leaders of California's high-speed rail project told the Trump administration Monday its plans to take back $2.5 billion in federal money and withhold another $1 billion earmarked for the project are"disastrous policy" and"legally indefensible.

The threat to withhold money was an escalation in the ongoing feud between the Trump administration and California. It's also yet another headache for the $77 billion project, which has been plagued by delays and cost overruns. If California were to lose the $3.5 billion, it likely couldn't finish the first leg of the project in the Central Valley, Kelly said.

Newsom said there wasn't currently a way to build the train between Los Angeles and San Francisco. But he pledged to continue environmental reviews and said he hoped to access private money in the future to finish the full line. Kelly challenged those claims in a lengthy response letter, arguing that Newsom was making an even stronger commitment to the Central Valley segment than previous governors had.

That's not an accurate statement. The statement was it would be 'disastrous policy.' News media needs to learn to quote correctly and not twist people statements

We should get back all the money he funnels into his business!

CA' will be alright! after all? they got the valley' nvrdrmp; 99%
