The Testimony on California's High-Speed Rail that Most Voters Never Saw

Here is Joe Vranich's rarely-seen 2008 public testimony on California's high-speed rail plan. Mr. Vranich is a prominent advocate for high-speed rail and author of Supertrains: Solutions to America's Transportation Gridlock. In addition to his other accomplishments, he is AGAINST California's high-speed rail program.



His testimony is from 2008.  Although the plan has been reworked since then, his predictions are eerily accurate and he forecasts additional fiscal disaster for California.
