Senator Tony Strickland (R-Huntington Beach) released the following statement in response to the latest news that the federal government will clawback $4 billion in federal dollars from the high-speed rail project:
"I applaud the U.S Department of Transportation for being the adult in the room and pulling the plug on the mismanaged high-speed rail project. The citizens of California did not vote for a bullet train from Merced to Bakersfield, and it's time to accept reality, stop wasting our money, and have a serious conversation about directing funds to assist California families versus a pipe dream."
