California GOP gubernatorial candidate Sen. Brian Dahle argues the state should halt the high-speed rail and reinvest that money into other projects.
agreed to release $4.2 billion earmarked for the train’s first phase, linking Bakersfield, Fresno and Merced in the Central Valley.
Dahle was raised in Bieber, a tiny community of a few hundred people in the state's northeast corner. His grandfather, a World War I veteran, came to California during the Great Depression and got a land grant in Siskiyou County that, according to family legend, he won when his name was pulled from a pickle jar. The deed is signed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dahle said.A farmer by trade, Dahle has likened the high-speed rail project to a bad crop that is doomed to fail.
Dahle suggested those billions being poured into the high-speed rail project, would be better spent on projects to help the environment.
