California Democrats urge feds to approve high-speed rail funding before DOGE nixes ‘boondoggle’
Fox News
CA Democrats are urging USDOT to approve more than $500 million in transportation grant money to fund the state's high-speed rail projects before DOGE potentially ends the "boondoggle."
Democrats urged Secretary Pete Buttigieg to approve the funds, saying progress on the "California Phase I Corridor" is "essential to enhancing our nation’s and California’s strategic transportation network investments." Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"The Phase 1 Corridor aims to address climate concerns, promote health, improve access and connectivity, and boost economic vitality, while addressing current highway and rail capacity constraints," a letter to the outgoing Cabinet member read. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
