Original Note:
Missing context: Rep. Kiley did not say "yesterday's technology" in reference to the train's speed. He said it because the project was authorized in 2008. In July 2025, the CEO said it is "fast approaching the track-laying phase" (i.e., not in the track-laying phase). https://catc.ca.gov/programs/proposition-1a-high-speed-passenger-train-bond-program https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/07/16/governor-newsom-responds-to-trumps-latest-gift-to-china-defunding-americas-only-high-speed-rail/
