Payback to Jerry Brown for quashing every attempt to audit this thing. And the crooked but typical strategy of rushing to bid before the funding is approved.

BART will be happy as the last thing it wants is a modern standard gauge OC electric railway to compare to its crap.

Perhaps a deal will be cut to short-term divert money from the crazy train in the Valley to the vastly more productive Caltrain electrification. Of course the courts could still rule the whole idea of using CAHSR money for Caltrain needs to go back to the voters.
