House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Tweeted on Wednesday that the California High-Speed Rail was a "disgrace" and links a Los Angeles Times article.
The article reports that the price for the 29-mile railway has gone from a $69 million estimate to $396 million.
#CAHSR is a national disgrace. With no federal money and no current private sector investment, this project is now California taxpayers’ worst nightmare as they are left holding the bag. https://t.co/a5uHYQDB3C
