Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen announced $3 billion for a historic Brightline High-Speed Rail that will connect Las Vegas and Southern California.

I just learned about this a few minutes ago.

Sen. Rosen also says the initial goal of opening by 2028 — just in time for the U.S. Summer Olympics in Los Angeles — is still on track.

    Yeah if it happens at all it will be decades late and millions over budget, service will be underfunded from the get-go, and then we'll get to spend the next 30 years after arguing whether the line is costing taxpayers too much money to maintain.
