[QUOTE]Originally posted by MightyAlweg: [QB] The 520 mile figure likely comes from the full build-out of Phase One as indicated in the Prop 1A bond measure, including the original Anaheim terminus and the Sacramento spur line up from Modesto. But you are right in that the LA to SF trunk line is most certainly not 520 miles, as that sentence implied. In new news, the Legislative Analyst's Office in Sacramento delivered a rather stinging rebuke to the HSR Commission yesterday. Basically the Analyst's Office is saying the entire plan is "highly uncertain" and that their current plan to build the Bakersfield to Chowchilla tracks are illegal and inellegible for funding from the bond measure most of us voted for back in '08. The two groups have a meeting to discuss this next week, and wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall?!? An interesting recap here at the Orange County Register... http://taxdollars.ocregister.com/2011/11/30/high-speed-rail-plan-highly-uncertain-analyst-says/143497/ [/QB][/QUOTE]
