July 1, 2015: New Measure Would Allow Californians to Vote Again on High-Speed Rail Project

(09:44) SACRAMENTO – State lawmakers are considering a proposal that would allow Californians to vote again on the High-Speed Rail project. The HSR Authority has failed to obtain private investment as promised to the voters and is now relying on the state’s cap-and-trade program to help fund the project. The measure, introduced Tuesday by Senator Andy Vidak, would allow Californians to vote on whether they want to continue funding the $100 billion project. The proposal, if approved, would freeze any further spending on the project until after the vote on June 7, 2016. (S.G.)
