Gavin Newsom accuses Trump of 'political retribution

[Common]

Gotta love the way liberals think, the Federal Govt gave Calfiornia a 3.5 billion dollar grant to build a High Speed Rail.
Gov Newsom stops the high speed rail saying its not feasible, but he wants to KEEP our MONEY


California Gov. Gavin Newsom says the Trump administration is engaging in “political retribution” by trying to take back $3.5 billion granted for the state’s high-speed rail project.
The Democratic governor says President Donald Trump is reacting to California suing over Trump’s emergency declaration to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump linked the two together Tuesday in a tweet that referenced the lawsuit and said California “has wasted billions of dollars on their out of control Fast Train.”



Newsom says California won’t sit “idly by” and will fight to keep the money.
The federal money comes with certain requirements that the Trump administration says California won’t meet. The state has already spent $2.5 billion on the planned train between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Well, at least Newsom stopped the ludicrous train project. I give him credit for that!

Building high speed rail systems between cities that do not have an existing quality public transportation infrastructure is a waste of money. Good that the governor cancelled it.
